Fate Of A Fool Lyrics

Spending my life in a cold hard bar-room
Drinking that long black whisky down
I play the guitar, for me it`s a living
Well, I know, just a hanging-around
Dancing girls, oh, they drive me crazy
All they want is a fancy name
Don`t you know is I might not make it
That`s the fate of a fool and a guitar man
Yeah, been down to the palace of pleasure
Honky-tonk, where I come from
Smoke`s so thick I can`t imagine
Wine flows fast by the rule of a gun
One of these mornings it`ll come up Sunday
I won`t have a good time again
That time ain`t now, it`s a whole new dream
That`s the fate of a fool and a guitar man
One more night, one more dollar
One more song, can you do it again
I don`t know, I may not make it
That`s the fate of a fool and a guitar man
That`s the fate of a fool and a guitar man
