Tesla: Mama's Fool

(Keith, Hannon)

Out on the road, and a long long way from home
Why must I be so, must I be so misunderstood
While my intentions, my intentions all are good
Wish only one time that things would turn out like they should
Just like they should

Too many times, too many times payin' the price, just for the thrill
Too many hearts, too many times, overkill
So many times, double around, how many faces do reveal
How many folks gettin' to be over the hill

She always told me things, like those weren't made of sugar and spice
She always scolded me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, Lord I've just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - well I've just been fooled again

Too many lies, shame on the wives, too many cakes and eat it too
Too many hearts goin' straight down the tube
Hell of a dude, did it but don't have the time and the words for use
Too many rounds, too many times, overuse

She's always telling me, "Just take your time, always think twice"
Forever scolding me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, hell I've just been fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again
Mama she raised no fool - she did not raise a fool
Mama I ain't no fool

Oh, let me tell you if it happens again like it did next time
Somebody's gonna have to walk the line, walk the line!

[Solo]

She's always telling me, "Take my advice boy and just think twice"
Forever scolding me, "Don't let the same dog bit you twice"
Well I, Lord I won't be fooled again

Mama she raised no fool - you did not raise no fool
Mama I ain't no fool - I've just been fooled again
Mama she ain't no fool - I may be crazy but I ain't no fool
Mama you crazy fool - may be crazy but I ain't no fool
Crazy but I ain't no fool, may be crazy, I may be crazy
Crazy but I ain't no fool

Out in the cold, and a long long way from home
