lyrics

Fool (co-written with Abi Tapia)

Truck-stop off the north highway
Gas, whiskey and slot machines
I count back change all day
And watch the sorry fools
Betting they can win their dreams

I don't believe in luck
I only trust what's in my sights
But since you walked in, I'm struck
By how I'd risk it all
For the chance that love could make things right

Do I sound like a fool?
Am I a fool?
If I am a fool
You can bet it's all for you
Darlin' would you be true?
Would you be true?
If you would be true
We'd have a safe bet

I always loved to drive away
I placed my bets on the life I'd never seen
There were reasons to stay
But none of them were worth
Givin' up a rambler's dream

Chorus

I've been hiding my hope under the mattress
I've been rattling around like loose change
But now I see
For you
I could let
My heart be rearranged

Chorus
