just a fool

Lyrics

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
