Fools Ride

Love is blind
Whoever bought that line must be a real sucker
They made a movie about someone else
A warning sign but I went out
There's a run in the rug, a pull in my sweater
Something true was in that letter
Loose ends you never tied
Now I know it was all a lie

'Cause you know how to spend my money
You know how to spin a story
You know how to take me for a fool's ride in the country
Oh

Love at first sight
Who ever bought that line wasn't listening
To the first thing you ever said to me about retiring
'Cause the bill I paid for my birthday dinner
The bill I paid every winter
Boxes of bills on the basement floor
I don't believe you anymore

'Cause you know how to spend my money
You know how to spin a story
You know how to take me for a fool's ride in the country

Love saves the day
Here comes the red flag flying in the shit parade
A warning sign that I ignored
Signed my good name to a house you can't afford
There's a run in the rug, a pull in my sweater
Something true was in that letter
Loose ends you never tied
Now I know it was all a lie

And you know how to spend my money
You know how to spin a story
You know how to take me for a fool's ride in the country
And everything you ever said was half true at best
You know how to take me for a fool's ride
Oh
