Fighting the Fool

I've been down to the bottom of the bottle

I've lived my life stuck in full throttle

And the slowing down, the slowing down

Keeps grinding my gears

I took risks I never should've taken

And I broke hearts that didn't need breaking

And I don't know why, I don't know why

I can't cry tears

Oh I just can't seem to walk the line

It's always been easy to say goodbye

I'm always running, ain't nothing gonna change my mind

Oh I just can't seem to get a clue

I never seem to think things through

It's t-u-f-f, tough, I can't win the fight

With the fool inside of me

Too many times I've had to learn the hard way

I've made mistakes but tomorrow's a new day

I've been there, I've done that

I ain't looking back

I lost track with the man in the mirror

Now a whiskey glass seems to make things clearer

I don't know why, I don't know why

But I got it bad

Oh I just can't seem to walk the line

It's always been easy to say goodbye

I'm always running, ain't nothing gonna change my mind

Oh I just can't seem to get a clue

I never seem to think things through

It's t-u-f-f, tough, I can't win the fight

With the fool inside of me

When I'm about to get things straight

The fool in me takes a swing

He always seems to find a way

To turn it upside down

Oh I just can't seem to walk the line

It's always been easy to say goodbye

I'm always running, ain't nothing gonna change my mind

Oh I just can't seem to get a clue

I never seem to think things through

It's t-u-f-f, tough, I can't win the fight

With the fool inside of me

Fighting the fool

Fighting the fool

Fighting the fool inside of me
