[Verse]
Eric the eyeful
Nearly dropped out for good
Pretty soon he ran all around the West Coast
Annie always played for keeps
She took no prisoners
Never settled down, till she had to go to sleep
[Chorus]
Well may you be forever foolish
May you be forever a fool
And run ahead
In those far away lights
'Cross the ocean tonight where I'm looking
At the horizon line and the tankers
The dark clouds and the breakers
You burn right past them all
[Verse]
Got the keys to your new garage
Back in '85
Back when mama and daddy were still alive
And nothing really gets you down
You love those old cars, beating around
Your work, your faith, in your small town
[Chorus]
Well may you be forever foolish
May you be forever a fool
And run ahead
In those far away lights
'Cross the ocean tonight where I'm looking
At the horizon line and the tankers
The dark clouds and the breakers
You burn right past them all
[Bridge]
You said, don't live with regret
Even when you're down
Give yourself a chance
To come back around
Where I'm still your fool, where I'm still your fool (x2)
(Guitar Solo)
[Chorus/Ending]
Well may you be forever foolish, may you be forever a fool (x2)
