Old 97's The Fool
He came from Phoenix in a borrowed VW bug
To be somebody or just be somebody
Who came from Phoenix in a borrowed VW bug
Just to prove that he was on her like she was a drug
Hallucinogenic with no hangover at all
She kept quarters in a jar, in a drawer in her desk
In receipt, a baby deep in the valley, girl
She will give him what she wants if he will only ask
He will give her what is left in his life
Of this mess which will end in no time at all
There is love everywhere you go
But it is never enough
He met his tragic fate in an automobile
With a relatively innocent young girl
Who would've blamed all the fate
Sat behind the wheel, just to prove the point
Nothing, nothing is real
Except the very thing you can't believe at all
And there is love everywhere you go
But it is never enough
He came from Phoenix in a borrowed VW bug
He was the kid voted most likely not to return
To Phoenix in a borrowed VW, what did he care
Tomorrow we're all gonna burn
Which you know, so it's no surprise at all
There is love everywhere you go
But it is never enough
Nah, it's never enough
Love is gonna come, you gotta work it out
You got to be a fool to be a fool in
Love is gonna come, you gotta wait it out
You got be a fool to be a fool in
Love is gonna come, you gotta coax it out
You gotta be a fool to be a fool in
Fool to be a fool in
You got to be a fool to be a fool in
Fool to be a fool in love
