Fate Of A Fool

Spending my life in a cold hard bar-room Drinking that long black whisky down I play the guitar, for me it's a living Well, I know, just a hanging-around Dancing girls, oh, they drive me crazy All they want is a fancy name Don't you know is I might not make it That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man Yeah, been down to the palace of pleasure Honky-tonk, where I come from Smoke's so thick I can't imagine Wine flows fast by the rule of a gun One of these mornings it'll come up Sunday I won't have a good time again That time ain't now, it's a whole new dream That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man One more night, one more dollar One more song, can you do it again I don't know, I may not make it That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man That's the fate of a fool and a guitar man --- Fate of a Fool - J.J.
