The biggest fool of all

The Biggest Fool of All
(John Raymond Pollard)
2002-04-01

If you get to thinking that you love me
once I'm set free from it all...
When you've done some thinking
about you and me,
if you miss me, give a call.
Oh, now, babe, don't you see,
pretty babe, once I'm free,
if I come running back to your pain,
if I come running back to the bane,
if I come running, running, running,
I'm the biggest fool of all,

for I've started thinking about you and me--
how it will be once I'm gone.
I see you sitting, sipping bourbon or tea.
You won't be free from what's done.
Oh now, babe, do you think,
as you toy with your drink
if I come running back to your arms,
if I come running I do myself harm?
If I come running, running, running,
I'm the biggest fool of all.
