Fool for Love

I'm leaving this place behind

And I'm heading out on the road tonight

I'm off for the winter lands

Way up north to where tall trees stand

Before I commence my ride

I'm asking Lily to be my bride

I know there's another man

But he ain't gonna delay my plans

I know she's gonna be my wife

Gonna fall in love, I'm gonna live my life with her

You know I bet he's not so tough

Ain't afraid of him cause I'm a fool for love

I've come forward to find Big Jim

Well here I am and I guess you're him

I see how you got your name

You're tall as hell and broad as a train

They say you're a hard-worn man

Oh, the baddest guy in the whole wide land

Well, I'm not afraid to fight

Let's step outside and I'll show you why

I'm humming like a revved-up truck

Never mind the odds, I'm gonna try my luck with her

Just tell me when you've had enough

I'm dangerous 'cause I'm a fool for love

You know, you don't hit half-bad

Oh, but I'm gonna lay you to ground tonight

Just wait until I catch my breath

Gonna send you off to an early death

I lie in the drifting snow

Bleeding out as it covers me up

If Spring comes before I'm found

Just throw my bones in a hole in the ground

I lost friends along my way

I knew I'd need 'em eventually

No, I'm not afraid to die

Just mad I left Big Jim alive

I know I should've never looked back

But you ain't gonna win a woman's heart like that

I never should've called his bluff

I was born to lose 'cause I'm a fool for love

I stare into the endless sky

And the sorry tale of my life goes by

I drift into the great unknown

I really don't know where I'm going

I stare into the endless sky

And the sorry tale of my life goes by

I drift into the great unknown

No, I really don't know where I'm going
