Lyrics Gary Clark Jr.

Gary Clark Jr.

Glitter Ain't Gold (Jumpin' for Nothin')

They told me that I needed some patience

But don't keep me waiting too long

They told me that I needed salvation

But who are we to lean on?

Something's going on here

Something's going wrong

Running out of time here

But I'm still waiting for something

It doesn't matter how high

As long as you're with me when we fall

We're a step away from breaking down

I need something good

Hey, hey, don't get me jumpin' for nothin'

Hey, hey, don't get me jumpin' for nothin'

The light is at the end of the tunnel

Or is it just a runaway train

My daddy told me, "Glitter ain't gold, young boy

So save yourself a whole lot of pain"
