Fencing For Gold

© Jaimey Perham 07/22/2010

Headed to the west coast to fence for some gold

An old wise soul from the east coast once told

Need some green gold for my lady back home

Need to pay back those sharks who gave me that loan

Some say the world revolves around paper not stones

As long as you put your heart first your greed will not be shown

So I booked a red eye flight and flew over the mountain domes

Landed in the state of California where Hollywood stars are known

Got the cold shoulder so went up north to the valley of silicone

Couldn’t get past the front gate so I called my friend in Frisco on the phone

Crashed with him until we got busted for stealing crystal diamond cones

Now I sit in jail where I sit in a small cell all by myself and all alone

And in my free time I still try to fence for some now, institutional gold
