(Oh!)
Old saloon, deep maroon, we're new to the town
A man walks in and sits himself down with us
(Oh!)
Seeking gold, very old, he's asking around
If we can help him he'll reward us
(Oh!)
Meet at dawn with a yawn, we're outta the town
He gives the lowdown, pickaxe, heavy packs
(Oh!)
Hot sun, no fun, way outta the town
Follow the boot tracks now no going back
Not all that glitters is gold
So I've always been told
Not all that's missing should be found
Still, he turns to me and says
Meet me at dawn
Up in the mountains
Near the trail with the hidden waterfalls
Superstition says there's a gold mine no one can find
Ten years of searching
It's in Arizona, maybe Colorado
Oh who knows?
I could still find it if I try
♪
(Oh!)
Take a nap, hear a snap, why's there smoke in my eyes?
I can't see Fred or Ted or anyone
(Oh!)
Through the smoke, don't choke, fire's blocking the way
I drop and roll downhill to the creek bed
(Oh!)
On my feet, don't miss a beat, looking around
I think I found that dusty old trail again
(Oh!)
Rattlesnake, big mistake, she's looking around
I turn and run uphill to my friends again
Not all that glitters is gold
So I've always been told
Not all that's missing should be found
Still, he turns to me and says
Meet me at dawn
Up in the mountains
Near the trail with the hidden waterfalls
Superstition says there's a gold mine no one can find
Ten years of searching
It's in Arizona, maybe Colorado
Oh who knows?
I could still find it if I try
♪
(Oh!)
Found the mine, lost the mine, is it all a mirage?
Prospector yells right up to the sky
(Oh!)
Trail's end, it's the end, is it camouflage?
Prospector says it can't deceive him
(Oh!)
Pile of rocks, cave is blocked, it leads underground
The most lost-and-found-again gold mine
(Oh!)
Old man stops, then he drops down onto his knees
And then he laughs and cries for a long time
Not all that glitters is gold
So I've always been told
Not all that's missing should be found
Still, he turns to me and says
Meet me at dawn
Up in the mountains
Near the trail with the hidden waterfalls
Superstition says there's a gold mine no one can find
