You’re heading down a lonely road that someday you’ll regret
Go back you fool while you can
Your darlings heart is breaking but you haven’t lost her yet
Go back you fool while you can

You wonder around the honky tonks acting fancy free
So blinded by those tavern lights that you can’t see
You passed the door to heaven in search of paradise
Go back you fool take another fools advice

You’re standing where I stood before so young and so mislead
Go back you fool while you can
When I walked out and slammed the door I wish someone had said
Go back you fool while you can

I wouldn’t want to tell you wrong I hope that you can see
If you don’t believe in what I say just look at me
I passed the door to heaven in search of paradise
Go back you fool take another fools advice
