[Verse 1]
The rich man asked the preacher
To help him find the truth
He was looking for his soul
That got thrown out with his youth
Spent a whole life chasing money
The man had lost his way
And he couldn't understand
What the preacher man was about to say

[Chorus]
He said a fool's ambition is all you know
There ain't no dollar gonna make you whole
There ain't no telling what you've been told
But your money won't buy you no poor man's gold

[Verse 2]
He said I've been thinking about what you said
It's been a minute since I made my bed
I chased down the living but I wasn't living at all
And it shook me to the core brother when I heard your call

[Chorus]
When a fool's ambition is all you know
There ain't no dollar gonna make you whole
There ain't no telling what you've been told
But your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
No your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
[Chorus]
A fool's ambition is all you know
There ain't no dollar it's gonna make you whole
There ain't no tellin' what you've been told
But your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
No your money won't buy you no poor man's gold

[Chorus]
When a fool's ambition is all you know
There ain't no dollar gonna make you whole
There ain't no telling what you've been told
But your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
No your money won't buy you no poor man's gold
No your money won't buy no poor man's gold
No your money won't buy no poor man's gold
