I sold my soul to the new sensation Crossed the land for more temptation A part of me died along the way I broke the pledge of the full circle I drank the blood of the Holy Mary Just to be a better man You still got far to go You know where to find me You don't want to know But it's you that's gonna drown me Why don't you let go You don't have to lie to me A man searching for gold At the bottom of death valley I took a shot at the fortune wheel Though I knew it'd be a real bad deal As lady fortune looked away I saw the truth down a shotgun barrel Settling dust and me in the middle I spilled my soul across the land You still got far to go You know where to find me You don't want to know But it's you that's gonna drown me Why don't you let go You don't have to lie to me A man searching for gold At the bottom of death valley It's all clear as the sky Even though you try to deny A venom all too deadly to swallo Leaving you broke, dead and buried Going back to your death valley You still got far to go You know where to find me You don't want to know But it's you that's gonna drown me Why don't you let go You don't have to lie to me A man searching for gold At the bottom of death valley
