Songtext The waltzing fool Lyle Lovett

The waltzing fool

The waltzing fool
Hes got lights in his fingers
The waltzing fool
He just dont never say
The waltzing fool
He keeps his hands in his pockets
And waltzes the evening away

And its a waltz to a woman
Whos lying beside him
Its a waltz to a face on the wall
When shes gone
Its a waltz to the rodeo
The damn thing it rides him
Its a waltz to a waltz

Now the waltzing fool
He just might be crazy
Because the waltzing fool
He keeps the moon in his car
And the waltzing fool
He says its running
On waltzes and waltzes

And its a waltz to a woman
Whos lying beside him
Its a waltz to a face on the wall
When shes gone
Its a waltz to the rodeo
The damn thing it rides him
Its a waltz to a waltz
Just a waltz to a waltz

Now the waltzing fool
They say hes been drinking
But the waltzing fool
Hes just got mud on his shoes
And the waltzing fool
He knows theyre all thinking
Hes only an old waltzing fool

But the waltzing fool
Hes got lights in his fingers
The waltzing fool
He just dont never say
The waltzing fool
He keeps his hands in his pockets
And waltzes the evening away
The waltzing fool
His hands in his pockets
Hes waltzing the evening away
