Better Than Gold Lyrics


Darling West Better Than Gold

I knew a boy, he was older than me
He could jump any creek, he could climb any tree
He taught me a lot about breaking the rules
And he told me a man can be wise or he can be a fool

Wanting it all
Will be your downfall
Always in the wrong place
What you're chasing is not there to be found

When I turned eighteen and I went to sea
I forgot about fools and I thought I was free
Ten years went by and you know how it goes
I was seeking a fortune and running when love got too close

Wanting it all
Will be my downfall
Always in the wrong place
What I'm chasing is not there to be found

I was a fool for not bearing in mind
What he said once, that boy who was older than I
Better than gold is the time that you spend
Jumping creeks, climbing trees and then breaking some rules with a friend
