A Certain Kind Of Gold

You can go away and leave me, I don't want your type around
You scheme always for money and you twist my friends around
I loved you but that's over, it can never be retold
Go and seek your gilded mansion, your riches and your gold

For there's a certain kind of gold you only find in your true friends
It's the only kind of gold you take with you when this world ends
So I'd rather have a life of love to remember when I'm old
But if you'd rather have them, take your riches and your gold

I don't want your kind of living that you're living every day
I don't want to have this mansion when our hair is turning grey
I'll keep true friends around me, and be part of that fold
And I'll have my kind of mansion and a certain kind of gold

For there's a certain kind of gold you only find in your true friends
It's the only kind of gold you take with you when this world ends
So I'd rather have a life of love to remember when I'm old
But if you'd rather have them, take your riches and your gold
But if you'd rather have them, take your riches and your gold
