"Fools Ride" lyrics
"Fools Ride"
Love is blind
Whoever bought that line must be a real sucker
They made a movie about someone else
A warning sign but I went out
There's a run in the rug, a pull in my sweater
Something true was in that letter
Loose ends you never tied
Now I know it was all a lie
'Cause you know how to spend my money
You know how to spin a story
You know how to take me for a fool's ride in the country
Oh...
Love at first sight
Who ever bought that line wasn't listening
To the first thing you ever said to me about retiring
'Cause the bill I paid for my birthday dinner
The bill I paid every winter
Boxes and bills on the basement floor
I don't believe you anymore
'Cause you know how to spend my money
You know how to spin a story
You know how to take me for a fool's ride in the country
Love saves the day
Here comes the red flag flying in the shit parade
A warning sign that I Ignored
Signed my good name to a house you can't afford
There's a run in the rug, a pull in my sweater
Something true was in that letter
Loose ends you never tied
Now I know it was all a lie
And you know how to spend my money
You know how to spin a story
You know how to take me for a fool's ride in the country
And everything you ever said was half true at best
You know how to take me for a fool's ride
Oh...
Kathleen Edwards stated about "Fools Ride", "When you listen to a podcast called 'Dirty John' and realize it's a parallel to your own life, shit gets real. It took a while to finally feel ready to write this one, and hopefully I can just let the song speak for itself. It's my armour song of late."
Jim Bryson, who co-produced the album this track belongs to, explained Rolling Stone magazine, "The song took on so many different variations until we just stripped everything out of it and rebuilt it. That's the song we did the most work on. It's nice when you can put a lot of work into something but it doesn't sound like you painstakingly pumped through it trying to find its heart."
