You're heading down a lonely road that someday you'll regret Go back you fool while you can Your darlings heart is breaking but you haven't lost her yet Go back you fool while you can You wonder around the honky tonks acting fancy free So blinded by those tavern lights that you can't see You passed the door to heaven in search of paradise Go back you fool take another fools advice You're standing where I stood before so young and so mislead Go back you fool while you can When I walked out and slammed the door I wish someone had said Go back you fool while you can I wouldn't want to tell you wrong I hope that you can see If you don't believe in what I say just look at me I passed the door to heaven in search of paradise Go back you fool take another fools advice
