THE WALTZING FOOL
Lyle Lovett

The waltzing fool, he's got lights in his fingers.
The waltzing fool, he just don't never say.
The waltzing fool, he keeps his hands in his pockets
And waltzes the evening away.

And it's a waltz to a woman who's lying beside him.
It's a waltz to a face on the wall when she's gone.
It's a waltz to the rodeo. the damn thing it rides him.
It's a waltz to a waltz.

Now the waltzing fool, he just might be crazy,
Because the waltzing fool, he keeps the moon in his car,
And the waltzing fool, he says it's running
On waltzes and waltzes.

And it's a waltz to a woman who's lying beside him
It's a waltz to a face on the wall when she's gone
It's a waltz to the rodeo the damn thing it rides him
It's a waltz to a waltz
Just a waltz to a waltz

Now the waltzing fool, they say he's been drinking,
But the waltzing fool, he's just got mud on his shoes,
And the waltzing fool, he knows they're all thinking.
He's only an old waltzing fool.

But the waltzing fool, he's got lights in his fingers.
The waltzing fool, he just don't never say.
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.
