Foolish Young Bastard Songtext

von Patterson Hood

Foolish young bastard
You shouldn't do things half-assed
Going out the world backwards
You foolish young bastard

You're such a big tall man
You shouldn't sell yourself short
You got the really big deals nipping hard at your heels
Why you wanna go and blow it?

So suave and wily
You can cut 'em while you're smiling
It's these times when you forget that get you in a mess
A man can fail before he knows it

You foolish young bastard
Too damned smart to even know it
Take that turn a little faster
You foolish young bastard

You foolish young bastard
Too damned smart to even know it
Take that turn a little faster
You foolish young bastard

You're such a foolish young bastard
You got it all so figured out
But can you back it up in plaster?
Foolish young bastard

You'll either prove them all wrong or be a disaster
Foolish young bastard
