Time Shows Fools Songtext

von Justin Townes Earle

Wish I could say that I found some way to sleep at night
Wish I could lie but my weary eyes tell otherwise
And I know when it comes to matters of the heart
That time shows all fools what they really are
Time shows fools
Time shows fools

Now you've got a heart like a stone casting through a common tide
Never learned to love a man cause your moma never did your daddy right
And now you've grown and can't shake the feeling
You're still trying to outrun the suburban upbringing
And you'll find that you never get too far cause
Time shows all fools what they really are
Time shows fools
Time shows fools

Wish I could turn around and walk away with no regrets
I've just turned away, now I ain't took a step
Still looking for something I should learn to forget
I'm too old now to let you treat me like this

So gone are the days blessed by the ease of a brand new start
Lost in the wake drowned in pain of a broken heart
And it don't matter who you think you are
Time shows all fools what they really are
Time shows fools
Time shows fools
