Waltzing Fool - Guy Clark

The waltzing fool

He’s got lights in his fingers

The waltzing fool

He just don’t never say

But the waltzing fool

He keeps his hands in his pockets

And waltzes the evening away

It’s a waltz to a woman

Who’s lying beside you

It’s a waltz to a face on the wall

When she’s gone

It’s a waltz to the rodeo

The damned thing, it rides him

It’s a waltz to a waltz

The waltzing fool

He just might be crazy

The waltzing fool

He keeps the moon in his car

And the waltzing fool

He says it’s running

On waltzes and waltzes

It’s a waltz to a woman

Who’s lying beside you

It’s a waltz to a face on the wall

When she’s gone

It’s a waltz to the rodeo

The damned thing, it rides him

It’s a waltz to a waltz

Now the waltzing fool

They say he’s been drinking

But the waltzing fool

He’s got mud on his boots

And the waltzing fool

He knows they’re all thinking

He’s only an old waltzing fool

The waltzing fool

He’s got lights in his fingers

The waltzing fool

He just don’t never say

But the waltzing fool

He keeps his hands in his pockets

And waltzes the evening away

The waltzing fool

His hands in his pockets

He’s waltzing the evening away
