"Famous Among Fools" lyrics

"Famous Among Fools"

I was born in Lynchburg on a misty mountain morn'
Way down in the South of Tennessee
I came by truck through Memphis on its way to Californ'
And I don't think we've had a chance to meet
So go on help yourself
I been put up on this shelf
For hearts like yours who go through times like these

No I ain't the devil, truth is I don't take sides
The choices that you make ain't my concern
But I can fight old flames with fire
While I warm you up inside
Even make you numb if you can make it past the burn
That's why I'm famous among fools who never learn
Yes, I'm famous among fools who never learn

Some call me sippin' whiskey, some folks call me Jack
But they all know to call me when they're down
I ain't here to judge ya, just set me up and throw me back
And I'll be right there beside you every round
But be careful when you pour me
You just will end up empty
There's only so many memories you can drown

No I ain't the devil, truth is I don't take sides
The choices that you make ain't my concern
But I can fight old flames with fire
While I warm you up inside
Even make you numb if you can make it past the burn
That's why I'm famous among fools who never learn

I can fight old flames with fire
While I warm you up inside
Even make you numb if you can make it past the burn
That's why I'm famous among fools who never learn
Yes, I'm famous among fools who never learn

I was born in Lynchburg on a misty mountain morn'
Way down in the South of Tennessee
