Fate Of A Fool - JJ Cale

Spending my life in a cold hard bar room

Drinking that long black whisky down

I play the guitar

For me it’s a living

Well I know

Just a hangin’around

Dancing girls

Oh they drive me crazy

All they want is a Fancy Dan

Now I know, I might not make it That’s the fate of a fool and a guitar man

Being bound now

To the palace of pleasure

Honky-tonk

Where I come from

Smoke so thick I can imagine

Wine flows fast by the rule of a gun

One of these mornings it’ll come up sunday

I won’t have a good time again

That time ain’t now

It’s a whole new dream

That’s the fate of a fool and a guitar man

One more night

One more dollar

One more song

Can you do it again

I don’t know

I may not make it That’s the fate of a fool and a guitar man

That’s the fate of a fool and a guitar man
