Down, down, down, down, da down, down, down
Gold's just around the corner
I'm watching you sinking
The straps seem to cut me like a knife
Sometimes you have to try to get along dear
I'm standing alone, I'm watching you all
I'm seeing you sinking
I'm seeing you sinking
The pack on my back is aching
I know the truth and I know what you're thinking
These boots were made for walking
Down, down, down, down, da down, down, down
I'm watching you sinking
The straps seem to cut me like a knife
I'm standing alone, I'm watching you all
The marquis de sade don't wear no boots like these
I'm standing alone, you're weighing the gold
I'm seeing you sinking
I don't need you to tell me what's going down
Fool's gold
I'm no clown I won't back down
I'm standing alone you're weighing the gold
The gold road's sure a long road
Winds on through the hills for fifteen days
Breakdown's coming up round the bend
I'm standing alone, I'm watching you all
Fool's gold, fool's gold
I'm watching you sinking
I'm standing alone you're weighing the gold
The pack on my back is aching
Down, down, down, down, da down, down, down
