As a boy i would walk thru the valleys
And gaze at the world all around
I made a vow that somehow i would find fame and fortune, well, i found it, but look at me now
Started out with the dreams and the plans of wise man
And ended up with the heartaches of a fool
Had a sweetheart who would love me forever
Didn't need her, i would reign all alone
But look at me i'm the king of a cold lonely castle, and the queen of my heart is gone
Gather round me, you fools, for a dollar
Listen to me and a lesson you'll learn
Wealth is happiness love sent from heaven above, and the fires of ambition will burn
