Nobody’s Fool

[VERSE 1]

 

Nobody sometimes calls and asks, where have I been

Nobody seems to think that my drinking is a sin

I’m the envy of the guys, I’m their man about town

But they don’t know what I’m like when nobody’s around

I get a little crazy, I lose my confidence

Nobody’s gonna take away all my common sense

 

 

[CHORUS]

 

I tell the boys nobody’s gonna tell me what to do

You might say that’s a lie, but it’s really partly true

I come home late from work, and nobody ain’t around

I get a sneaky feeling she’s out running on the town

It’s my own little secret, I try to play it cool

I guess that makes this ole boy nobody’s fool

 

 

[VERSE 2]

 

Last night when I got home, I didn’t see nobody’s car

Her note said she was out with the girls at Henry’s bar

So I jumped back in my truck, and I headed straight for town

Henry said I’m sorry, ain’t nobody been around

He said here’s a beer on me, have a seat right on this stool

I’m glad to finally meet the man that’s nobody’s fool

 

 

[CHORUS]

 

I tell the boys nobody’s gonna tell me what to do

You might say that’s a lie, but it’s really partly true

When I come home late from work, and nobody ain’t around

I get a sneaky feeling she’s out running on the town

It’s my own little secret, and I try to play it cool

I guess that makes this ole boy nobody’s fool

It’s my own little secret, and I try to play it cool

I guess that makes this ole boy nobody’s fool
