The waltzing fool He's got lights in his fingers The waltzing fool He just don't never say The waltzing fool He keeps his hands in his pockets And waltzes the evening away And it's a waltz to a woman Who's lying beside him It's a waltz to a face on the wall When she's gone It's a waltz to the rodeo The damn thing it rides him It's a waltz to a waltz Now the waltzing fool He just might be crazy Because the waltzing fool He keeps the moon in his car And the waltzing fool He says it's running On waltzes and waltzes And it's a waltz to a woman Who's lying beside him It's a waltz to a face on the wall When she's gone It's a waltz to the rodeo The damn thing it rides him It's a waltz to a waltz Just a waltz to a waltz Now the waltzing fool They say he's been drinking But the waltzing fool He's just got mud on his shoes And the waltzing fool He knows they're all thinking He's only an old waltzing fool But the waltzing fool He's got lights in his fingers The waltzing fool He just don't never say The waltzing fool He keeps his hands in his pockets And waltzes the evening away The waltzing fool His hands in his pockets He's waltzing the evening away
