Sometimes I wonder by what's life
I've lives
It's a wonder that I ain't dead
Drinking and gambling
Staying out all night
Just living in a fool's paradise
My momma told me
And my papa said it too
He said "Son fate is bound
To catch up with you
If you keep on drinking and gambling
Stay out all night just living in
A fool's paradise"
Well I've learned my lesson
Just like all fools I've met
Something I've seen
In this old world
I would like to forget
My momma told me
My papa said it right
He said
"Son you're gonna drive right out of sight
If you keep on drinking and gambling
Staying out all night
Just living in a fool's paradise"
My momma told me
She sat right down cried
She said
"Son you're just committing suicide
If you keep on drinking and gambling
Staying out all night
Just living in a fool's paradise"
You're just living in a fool's paradise
