Fools Ride

[Verse 1]

Love is blind

Whoever bought that line must be a real sucker

They made a movie about someone else

A warning sign, but I went out

There's a run in the rug, a pull in my sweater

Something true was in that letter

Loose ends you never tied

Now I know it was all a lie

[Chorus]

'Cause you know how to spend my money

You know how to spin a story

You know how to take me for a fool's ride in the country

Oh...

[Verse 2]

Love at first sight

Whoever bought that line wasn't listening

To the first thing you ever said to me about retiring

'Cause the bill I paid for my birthday dinner

The bill I paid every winter

Boxes and bills on the basement floor

I don't believe you anymore

[Chorus]

'Cause you know how to spend my money

You know how to spin a story

You know how to take me for a fool's ride in the country

[Verse 3]

Love saves the day

Here comes a red flag flying in the shit parade

A warning sign that I ignored

Signed my good name to a house you can't afford

There's a run in the rug, a pull in my sweater

Something true was in that letter

Loose ends you never tied

Now I know it was all a lie

[Chorus]

And you know how to spend my money

You know how to spin a story

You know how to take me for a fool's ride in the country

[Outro]

And everything you ever said was half true at best

You know how to take me for a fool's ride

Oh...
