Fool for Love

I'm leaving this place behind

And I'm heading out on the road tonight

I'm off for the hinterlands

Way up north to where tall trees stand

Before I commence my ride

I'm asking Lily to be my bride

I know there's another man

But he ain't gonna delay my plans

I know she's gonna be my wife

Gonna fall in love, I'm gonna live my life with her

You know I bet he's not so tough

Ain't afraid of him 'cause I'm a fool for love

I've come far to find Big Jim

Well, here I am and I guess you're him

I see how you got your name

You're tall as hell and broad as a train

They say you're a hard worn man

And the baddest guy in the whole wide land

Well, I'm not afraid to fight

Let's step outside and I'll show you why

I'm humming like a revved up truck

Never mind the odds, I'm gonna try my luck with her

Just tell me when you've had enough

I'm dangerous 'cause I'm a fool for love

You know you don't hit half bad

Oh, but I'm gonna lay you to ground tonight

Just wait until I catch my breath

Gonna send you on to an early death

I lie in the drifting snow

Bleeding out as It covers me, oh

If spring comes before I'm found

Just throw my bones in a hole in the ground

I lost friends along my way

I knew I'd need them eventually

No, I'm not afraid to die

Just mad I left Big Jim alive

I know I should've never looked back

But you ain't gonna win a woman's heart like that

I never should've called his bluff

I was born to lose 'cause I'm a fool for love

I stare into the endless sky

And I saw a tale of my life goes by

I drift into the great unknown

I really don't know where I'm going

I stare into the endless sky

And the sorry tale of my life go by

I drift into the great unknown

I really don't know where I'm going
