'If I'm a fool for leaving'
Written by Little Jimmy Dickens & Skip Graves
Published by Cedarwood / BMI

This morning I am leaving, I've been up all night long
You're right, I'm tired of waiting for you to come home
I've begged and tried to change you
but you've grown worse each day
If I'm a fool for leaving I'd be twice the fool to stay

I'd rather be called foolish and find somebody else
Then to be a fool forever and not forgive myself
I'm exactly what you've made me
but I hope to change someday
If I'm a fool for leaving I'd be twice the fool to stay

I'd rather be called foolish and find somebody else
Then to be a fool forever and not forgive myself
I'm exactly what you've made me
but I hope to change someday
If I'm a fool for leaving I'd be twice the fool to stay
If I'm a fool for leaving I'd be twice the fool to stay
