Lyrics Ricky Van Shelton

Ricky Van Shelton

Statue of a Fool

Somewhere there should be for all the world to see

A statue of a fool, made of stone

The image of a man, who let love slip through his hands

And then just let him stand there all alone

And there on his face, a gold tear should be placed

To honor the million tears he's cried

And the hurt in his eyes would show so everyone would know

That concealed is a broken heart inside

So build me a statue

And Lord, build it high so that all can see

Then inscribe are the world's greatest fool

And name it after me, after me
