Lyrics Fool's Paradise - Willie Nelson, Dr. John

Fool's Paradise

I often think off the live I live
And it’s a wonder that I ain’t dead
Drinking and gambling
And staying out all night
Living in a fool’s paradise
My mother told me, my father told me too
Someday my child, fate will catch up with you
Drinking and gambling
And staying out all night
Living in a fool’s paradise
I though I had learned my lesson
Like all fools I have met
But there are things I’ve learned in this world
I’ll remember to my dying day
My father told me, my mother said it right
Said my child, you are ruining your life
Drinking and gambling
And staying out all night
Living in a fool’s paradise
Well I though I had learned my lesson
Like all fools I have met
But there are things I’ve learned in this world
I’ll remember to my dying day
My father told me, my mother said it right
Said my child, you are ruining your life
Drinking and gambling
And staying out all night
Living in a fool’s paradise
Living in a fool’s paradise
