Lyrics 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

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 of 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

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
