Just A Fool

Here I stand
 Going through the motions with the mic in my hand
 Playing hard to get, pretending like I understand
 Just a fool getting by
 Just a fool doing alright
 Out getting loaded, only way away from the pain I guess?
 Holding me so tightly will it ever let me rest?
 Memorize the lines and try to work within the frame
 Busting out the glass, bloody knuckles broke the pain
 Just a fool getting by
 Just a fool doing alright
 Just a fool getting by
 Just a fool doing alright
 Just a fool, just a fool
 Out on the street
 Bleeding in the gutter, busting out the teeth
 Spoke my mind, wound up on the wrong side of the fence
 Made another promise that should have never left my lips
 Now I'm wasting away behind the bars of this country cage
 Nowhere else to turn and try to quiet down my rage
 Thinking about the ones who did just what they always said
 Trying to find the strength it takes to become one of them
 Working for the man and dreaming of the day
 That I'm throwing down the hammer and marching my own way
 Just a fool getting by
 Just a fool doing alright
 Just a fool getting by
 Just a fool doing alright
 And dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight
 Just a fool, just a fool
 Just a fool, just a fool
