What A Fool I Was

When I was a kid, I knew everything
Spent late nights on the front porch swing
Ran the town and scraped my knees
Of all my days were the best of these

Lord I'm not going
Lord I'm not going
Tell me what is the weight of this
Oh, lord I'm not going

Under the Moon of a starless sky
Still see your ghost when I close my eyes
With every word, I can't convey at the tip of my tongue
No matter how far I go
I keep looking on down the road
Keep chasing down that feeling just like coming home

I'm older now what can be said
Just a mixed up collection of the books I've read
I need a map to show me where to go
Cause the more I learn seems the less I know

Lord I'm not going
Lord I'm not going
Tell me what is the weight of this
Oh, lord I'm not going

Under the Moon of a starless sky
Still see your ghost when I close my eyes
With every word, I can't convey at the tip of my tongue
No matter how far I go
I keep looking on down the road
Keep chasing down that feeling just like coming home

Years from now where will I be
Will these friends of mine still look out for me
Will I get to see what my boys become
Will I find out what a fool I was

Under the Moon of a starless sky
Still see your ghost when I close my eyes
With every word, I can't convey at the tip of my tongue
No matter how far I go
I keep looking on down the road
Keep chasing down that feeling just like coming home
Keep chasing down that feeling just like coming home
