Like A Fool
 
When you packed up your suitcase
I wasn't falling apart
It wasn't til you drove away
When that pain hit my heart
I realized I was wrong from the start
 
I should of loved you like a fool baby
I should of let my heart go crazy
Now that you're gone I'm thinking maybe
I had it all wrong baby
I should of loved you like a fool
I should of loved you like fool
 
The night that you said you loved me
Silence filled the room
My heart was screaming out go on just say it
But my lips they wouldn't move
I guess you never knew 
 
I should of loved you like a fool baby
I should of let my heart go crazy
Now that you're gone I'm thinking maybe
I had it all wrong baby
I should of loved you like a fool
I should of loved you like fool
 
I had a thousand chances
I let a thousand go
Now the price I pay for playing it safe
Lying here just me and my fears all alone


Like A Fool

Well Traveled Road
(Norris, Mouch)

You can tell my old man’s age by the lines on his face
Each one tells story, some he’d rather erase
I ain’t never seen him cry, but they say eyes don’t lie
And his are blue even though they’re brown
He said you can’t walk on tears boy 
And you’ll never see me drown

He shook like a man with his leathered hands
His word built on gold, not in the sand
He always blamed church for this world of hurt
But there’s a bible by the edge of his bed.
Didn’t know where he was going
But he knew where he was led

God bless his soul 
He’s a well traveled road
The highway’s his home
He’s a Rolling Stone
You can tell where he’s been 
By the ink on his skin
Some say he was out of control
Please guide him oh Lord
He’s just a well traveled road

There’s a trail of black through the haze 
To that hole where daddy was laid
Yeah, he still led us on right up to the grave
He finally slowed down, when we put him underground
On the day of his reckoning
We all gathered round
And like a church choir we sang

God bless his soul 
He’s a well traveled road
The highway’s his home
He’s a Rolling Stone
You can tell where he’s been 
By the ink on his skin
Some say he was out of control
Please guide him oh Lord
He’s just a well traveled road



Well Traveled Road

AIN'T THE TIME 
(David Norris)

I remember when I could make you laugh 
We smiled in every photograph 
Oh, how I wish we could get it back 
And trade our pride for the dreams we had

It's hard to watch it fade away 
Disappear like twisted fate 
Oh, I'd rewind to yesterday 
And you'd do the same if I had my way

But now ain't the time 
The truth could slap us in the face 
But we'd refuse to see the light 
I'd rather be blind 
Than chasing shadows in the dark 
In search for peace of mind 
I'll see your side 
But now just ain't the time

Still I wonder why 
We let each day flutter by 
I'd reach out yeah, I'd love to try 
To figure out what's behind your eyes

But now ain't the time 
The truth could slap us in the face 
But we'd refuse to see the light 
I'd rather be blind 
Than chasing shadows in the dark 
In search for peace of mind 
I'll see your side 
But now just ain't the time

(solo)

Now ain't the time 
The truth could slap us in the face 
But we'd refuse to see the light 
I'd rather be blind 
Than chasing shadows in the dark 
In search for peace of mind 
I'll see your side 
But now just ain't the time

I remember when I could make you laugh 
We smiled in every photograph
