Here I stand
Goin through the motions with the mic in my hand
Playin' hard to get, pretending like I understand
Just a fool, getting by
Just a fool, doin' 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
Bustin' out the glass, bloody knuckles broke the pain
Just a fool getting by
Just a fool doin' alright
Just a fool, just a fool
Out on the street
Bleedin' in the gutter, bustin' 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
Thinkin' 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 dreamin' of the day
That I'm throwin' down the hammer and marchin' my own way
Just a fool getting by
Just a fool doin' alright
And dancin' with the Devil in the pale moonlight
Just a fool, just a fool

Here I stand
Goin through the motions with the mic in my hand
Playin' hard to get, pretending like I understand
Just a fool, getting by
Just a fool, doin' 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
Bustin' out the glass, bloody knuckles broke the pain
Just a fool getting by
Just a fool doin' alright
Just a fool, just a fool
Out on the street
Bleedin' in the gutter, bustin' 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
Thinkin' 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 dreamin' of the day
That I'm throwin' down the hammer and marchin' my own way
Just a fool getting by
Just a fool doin' alright
And dancin' with the Devil in the pale moonlight
Just a fool, just a fool
Goin through the motions with the mic in my hand
Playin' hard to get, pretending like I understand
Just a fool, getting by
Just a fool, doin' 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
Bustin' out the glass, bloody knuckles broke the pain
Just a fool getting by
Just a fool doin' alright
Just a fool, just a fool
Out on the street
Bleedin' in the gutter, bustin' 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
Thinkin' 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 dreamin' of the day
That I'm throwin' down the hammer and marchin' my own way
Just a fool getting by
Just a fool doin' alright
And dancin' with the Devil in the pale moonlight
Just a fool, just a fool
