What a Fool I Was

When I was a kid, I knew everything Spent late nights on the front porch swing Ran the town and scraped my knees Of all my days were the best of these Lord I'm not going Lord I'm not going Tell me what is the weight of this Oh, Lord I'm not going Under the moon of a starless sky Still see your ghost when I close my eyes With every word, I can't convey at the tip of my tongue No matter how far I go I keep looking on down the road Keep chasing down that feeling just like coming home I'm older now what can be said Just a mixed up collection of the books I've read I need a map to show me where to go Cause the more I learn seems the less I know Lord I'm not going Lord I'm not going Tell me what is the weight of this Oh, Lord I'm not going Under the moon of a starless sky Still see your ghost when I close my eyes With every word, I can't convey at the tip of my tongue No matter how far I go I keep looking on down the road Keep chasing down that feeling just like coming home Years from now where will I be Will these friends of mine still look out for me Will I get to see what my boys become Will I find out what a fool I was Under the moon of a starless sky Still see your ghost when I close my eyes With every word, I can't convey at the tip of my tongue No matter how far I go I keep looking on down the road Keep chasing down that feeling just like coming home
