Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here I stand, goin' through the motions with a mic in my hand
Playin' hard to get, pretendin' like I understand
Just a fool gettin' by
Just a fool doin' alright, rock out now
[Verse 2]
Out gettin' loaded, only way away from the pain, I guess
Holdin' me so tightly, will it ever let me rest?
Memorize the lines and try to work within the frame
Bustin' out the glass, bloody knuckles broke the pane
[Verse 3]
Just a fool gettin' by
Just a fool doin' alright
Just a fool gettin' by
Just a fool doin' alright
Just a fool, just a fool
[Verse 4]
Out on the street, bleedin' in the gutter, bustin' out the teeth
Spoke my mind, wound up on the wrong side of the fence
Made another promise that should have never left my lips
Now I'm wastin' away behind the bars of this country cage
Nowhere else to turn, try to quiet down my rage
[Verse 5]
Thinkin' 'bout the ones who did what they always said
Tryna find the strength it takes to become one of them
Workin' for the man and dreamin' of the day
That I'm throwin' down the hammer and marchin' my own way
[Verse 6]
Just a fool gettin' by
Just a fool doin' alright
Just a fool gettin' by
Just a fool doin' alright
And dancin' with The Devil in the pale moonlight
Just a fool, just a fool
Just a fool, just a fool
Rock out now
