Time Shows Fools - Justin Townes Earle

Wish I could say that I found some way to sleep at night

Wish I could lie but my weary eyes tell otherwise and

I know when it comes to matters of the heart that

Time shows all fools what they really are

Time shows fools

Time shows fools

Now you got a heart like a stone castle through a coming tide

Never learned to love a man 'cause your momma never did your daddy right and

Now you’re grown and can’t shake the feeling

You’re still trying to outrun this urban upbringing and

You’ll find out you’ll never get too far 'cause

Time shows all fools, what they really are

Time shows fools

Time shows fools

Wish I could turn around and walk away from this

I’ve just turned away now I ain’t took a step

Still looking for something I should learn to forget

I’m too old now to retreat like this

So gone are the days blessed by the ease of a brand new start

Lost in the wake, drowned in the pain of a broken heart and

It don’t matter who you think you are

Time shows all fools, what they really are

Time shows fools

Time shows fools
