cary swinney - fools like me lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
lyin’ face down at the bottom of a three+foot swimming pool
lies a young fool who thought he could swim
and lyin’ in bed with a woman whose blood runs cold and blue
look at you, for you could be him
and daddy said

[chorus]
look before you leap
son, don’t lose your feet
think before you speak
be free
’cause love is so d+mn cruel
we follow no one rule
gambling with fools
like me

[verse 2]
see the silly man with the ring upon his hand in a crowded church room
where he’s the groom and she’s dressed in white—ha!
i feel a little weak as i turn to speak and then i hear that tune
that eerie tunе—”here comes thе bride”
and i remember

[chorus]
look before you leap
son, don’t lose your feet
think before you speak
be free
’cause love is so d+mn cruel
we follow no one rule
gambling with fools
like me
[guitar solo]

[verse 3]
slumped in the corner of an old courtroom in a courtroom chair
the young man stares and dribbles his gloom
he begs with the judge but the judge won’t budge and the b+tch don’t care
it seems nothin’s fair when you’ve been the groom
and i remember

[chorus]
look before you leap
son, don’t lose your feet
think before you speak
be free
’cause love is so d+mn cruel
we follow no one rule
gambling with fools
like me

[outro]
swingin’ from a three+foot rope in the middle of his living room
hangs the old fool
who thought he could hang
