Concrete Blonde - When I Was A Fool lyrics

I re-read silly lines That made sense at the time Pages all stained with tears and red wine And I walk through the airport and see magazines Every face that I see So much younger than me And I smile to myself how I don't even miss My glorious past or the lips that I've kissed And I think to myself that how easy this is Easy to breathe, easy to live And I wonder why I tear myself in two Over how to be, what to say and what to do And I know you liked me better then And I know you liked me better when I was a fool …I was a fool …mm …I was a fool …mm So I live in these days But I still have my old ways 'cause the future, somehow, has yet to arrive And I see all around me the women on time Kids and divorces and crisis in midlife and do I surrender and give up my dream for a brick in the wall and a washing machine grow up and get real for a kid in their teens who won't care what I've done where I've been, what I've seen And I wonder why I tear myself in two over who to be, how to be and what to do and I know you liked me better then and I know you liked me better when I was a fool …I…was a fool …I was a fool …I was a fool I'm free to a fault I'm 45 I'm playing guitar I'm living my life Fly down the highway Sun on my face I belong to nobody I belong to no place
