The waltzing fool He's got lights in his fingers The waltzing fool He just don't never say But the waltzing fool He keeps his hands in his pockets And waltzes the evening away
It's a waltz to a woman Who's lying beside you It's a waltz to a face on the wall When she's gone It's a waltz to the rodeo The damned thing it rides him It's a waltz to a waltz
The waltzing fool He just might be crazy The waltzing fool He keeps the moon in his car And the waltzing fool He says it's running On waltzes and waltzes
It's a waltz to a woman Who's lying beside you It's a waltz to a face on the wall When she's gone It's a waltz to the rodeo The damned thing it rides him It's a waltz to a waltz Just a waltz to a waltz
Now the waltzing fool They say he's been drinking But the waltzing fool He's got mud on his boots And the waltzing fool He knows they're all thinking He's only an old waltzing fool
But the waltzing fool He's got lights in his fingers The waltzing fool He just don't never say The waltzing fool He keeps his hands in his pockets And waltzes the evening away
The waltzing fool His hands in his pockets He's waltzing the evening away.
