Lord Huron - Fool For Love

I'm leaving this place behind And I'm heading out on the road tonight I'm off for the hinterlands Way up north, where the tall trees stand Before I commence my ride, I'm asking Lily to be my bride I know there's another man But he ain't gonna delay my plans

I know she's gonna be my wife Gonna fall in love, I'm gonna live my life with her

You know, I bet he's not so tough Ain't afraid of him, 'cause I'm a fool for love

I've come far to find Big Jim Well here I am, and I guess you're him I see how you got your name You're tall as hell and broad as a train You say you're a hard-worn man Oh, the baddest guy in the whole wide land Well, I'm not afraid to fight Let's step outside and I'll show you why

I'm hummin' like a revved up truck Never mind the odds, I'm gonna try my luck with her

Just tell me when you've had enough I'm dangerous 'cause I'm a fool for love

You know, you don't hit half bad But I'm gonna lay you in the ground tonight Just wait until I catch my breath Gonna send you off to an early death

I lie in the drifting snow Bleeding out as it covers me over If spring comes before I'm found Just throw my bones in a hole in the ground I lost friends along my way I knew I'd need them eventually No, I'm not afraid to die Just mad I left Big Jim alive

I know I should've never looked back But you ain't gonna win a woman's heart like that

I never should've called his bluff I was born to lose, 'cause I'm a fool for love

I stare into the endless sky And the sorry tale of my life goes by I drift into the great unknown And I really don't know where I'm going

I stare into the endless sky And the sorry tale of my life goes by I drift into the great unknown And I really don't know where I'm going
