I was a fool to care 
I was a fool to care 
I was a fool to care 
But I don't care even if I was a fool 
I'm still in love with you 

Had I listened to the grapevine 
I might have had my doubts 
But I did my level best just to block them out 
'Cause love is so unwise and love has no eyes 
And it took a while for a fool to see 
What his friends were on about 

I was a fool to care 
I was a fool to care 
I was a fool to care 
But I don't care even if I was a fool 
I'm still in love with you 

Imagining your face 
it almost fills the empty space before me 
I can see your eyes and almost hear your lovely lies 

I wish I was an old man 
And love was through with me 
I wish I was a baby on my mama's knee 
I wish I was a freight train moving down the line 
Just keeping track of time 
without all these memories 

I was a fool to care 
I was a fool to care 
I was a fool to care 
But I don't care even if I was a fool 
I'm still in love with you 
Baby, yes, I am 
I could have opened my eyes 
I could have seen through your lies 
I could have stood for no more 
I could have walked out the door 

But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care 
But I was a fool to care, I was a fool to care 
You weren't nothing but a fool to care; just a country fool to care.
