Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold

Dan Seals

INTRO verse 1 Saw your picture on a poster, in a cafe out in Pheonix; Guess you're still the sweetheart of the rodeo. As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit In a one-horse trailer and a mobile home. And she still asks about you all the time; Astop And I guess we never even cross your mind. But, oh, sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride out In your rhinestones and your sequins, with the sunlight on your hair; And, oh, the crowd will always love you, but as for me I've come to know Everything that glitters.... is not gold. verse 2 Well, old Red, he's getting older, and last Saturday he stumbled But you know I just can't bear to let him go. Little Casey, she's still growing, and she's started asking questions And there's certain things a man just doesn't know. Her birthday came and you never even called; I guess we never cross your mind at all. But then sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride out In your rhinestones and your sequins, with the sunlight on your hair; And, oh, the crowd will always love you, but as for me I've come to know Everything that glitters.... is not gold. BRIDGE Everybody said you'd make it big someday, And I guess that we were only in your way. But someday, I'm sure, you're gonna know the cost; Cause for everything you win, there's something lost. But, oh, sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride out In your rhinestones and your sequins, with the sunlight on your hair; And, oh, the crowd will always love you, but as for me I've come to know Everything that glitters.... is not gold, Oooooooooh Everything that glitters................. is not gold OUTRO (while whistling melody): repeat and fade...
