Fool For Love

I'm leaving this place behind

​And I'm heading out on the road tonight

​I'm off for the hinterlands

​Way up north to have taught you to stand

​Before I commence my ride

​I'm asking Lily to be my bride

​I know there's another man

​But he ain't gonna delay my plans

​

​I know she's gonna be my wife

​Gonna fall in love I'm gonna live my life with her

​You know I bet he's not so tough

​Ain't afraid of him cause I'm a fool for love

​

​I've come far to find Big Jim

​Well here I am and I guess you him

​I see how you got your name

​You're tall as hell and broad as a train

​They say you a hard-born man

​And the baddest guy in the whole wide land

​Well I'm not afraid to fight

​Let's step outside and I'll show you why

​

​I'm humming like a revved up truck

​Never mind the odds I'm gonna try my luck with her

​Just tell me when you've had enough

​I'm dangerous cause I'm a fool for love

​

​You know you don't hit half bad

​For my love I will lay in the grave tonight

​Just wait until I catch my breath

​​Gonna send you off to an early death

​

​I lie in the drifting snow

​Bleeding out as it covers me up

​If Spring comes before I'm found

​Just throw my bones in a hole in the ground

​

​I lost friends along my way

​I knew I'd need them eventually

​No I'm not afraid to die

​Just mad I left Big Jim alive

​

​I know I should've never looked back

​But you ain't gonna win a woman's heart like that

​I never should've called his bluff

​I was born to lose cause I'm a fool for love

​

​I stare into the endless sky

​And the sordid tale of my life goes by

​I drift into the great unknown

​I really don't know where I'm going

​

I stare into the endless sky

And the sordid tale of my life goes by

I drift into the great unknown

I really don't know where I'm going
