Kathleen Edwards - Fools Ride lyrics

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
Whoever 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 a 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
