Fools and Sages

Don't stare straight into the sun
Because a blind man cannot run
But oh how I might have to lose my sight
Just to gain it back again
And don't drive a car when it's lightning
Some folks find that it's frightening
But that's why cars have got rubber tires
And a driver's side airbag

[Chorus:]
I believe that a fool has got more sense than the wisest sages
Because a fool does just what he's cut out for
And he never gets in no cages
My life story got wrote by the good lord
And I'm just turning the pages
Striking out for a home where the road becomes the sky

Even if I became a reverend
I still wouldn't get to go to heaven
I can tell that I'm headed for hell
Because of the things I've done
But it ain't nothing nice
When I get an appetite
My meth amphetamines
High-horsepower engines
And walking on top of the ocean

[Chorus]
I believe that a fool has got more sense than the wisest sages
Because a fool does just what he's cut out for
He never gets in no cages
My life story got wrote by the good lord
And I'm just turning the pages
Striking out for a home where the road becomes the sky

Sell my 3 piece suit
And let me lose my roots
And give me time to make up my mind
So that I can see
How to stare straight into the sun
Because a blind man cannot run
But it ain't nothing to lose your sight
If you've got your Liberty

[Chorus:]
I believe that a fool has got more sense than the wisest sages
Because a fool does just what he's cut out for
He never gets in no cages
My life story got wrote by the good lord
And I'm just turning the pages
Striking out for a home where the road becomes the sky
Oh, striking out for a home where the road becomes the sky
