glitter ain't gold

they're blowin smoke in mirrors

putting pressure on me

but i'm harder than an old black jack oak tree

tell me i'm a sinner

never claimed to be a saint

i don't claim to be a god damn thang that i ain't

it's getting old

glitter ain't gold

man

it ain't what you see

i was raised by the wolves in the woods

not the streets

ain't a show man

i practice what i preach

ask me what it is i know

glitter ain't gold

there's a curtain of pines

this side of the river

can't see that trailer on the hill from the road

white bread and honey

workin hard for our money

saving cans all week to turn the man away

it wasn't easy

neighbors judge from their front porch

right behind the door their whole home's in a mess

it's getting old

glitter ain't gold

man

it ain't what you see

i was raised by the wolves in the woods

not the streets

ain't a show man

i practice what i preach

ask me what it is i know

glitter ain't gold

man

it ain't what you see

i was raised by the wolves in the woods

not the streets

ain't a show man

i practice what i preach

ask me what it is i know

glitter ain't gold

glitter ain't gold

man

it ain't what you see

i was raised by the wolves in the woods

not the streets

ain't a show man

i practice what i preach

ask me what it is i know

glitter ain't gold

man

it ain't what you see

i was raised by the wolves in the woods

not the streets

ain't a show man

i practice what i preach

ask me what it is i know
