Fools for Each Other by Guy Clark Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who walked out when the times got hard?
When the truck broke down in the whole front yard
It wasn't me, it wasn't you
Who shot pool all night long?
Wound up bettin' on the crack of dawn
That was you, darling, and that was me

[Chorus]
And we are just fools for each other, me and you
We are lovers, in fact, we've gone crazy out back
Like only fools for each other would do

[Verse 2]
Now who gave up when the fire burned low?
Who flew south when the wind blew cold?
It wasn't me, it wasn't you
Who held on when the blues came down?
Who took care when the tie was bound?
That was you, darling, and that was me
[Chorus]
And we are just fools for each other, me and you
We are lovers, in fact, we've gone crazy out back
Like only fools for each other would do

[Verse 3]
Who took off when their heart got broke?
Let the whole thing go up in smoke
It wasn't me and it wasn't you, oh no
And who showed up when the time was right?
Laid a little mercy on a bad old night
That was you, darling, and that was me

[Chorus]
And we are just fools for each other, me and you
We are lovers, in fact, we've gone crazy out back
Like only fools for each other would do

And we are just fools for each other, me and you
We are lovers, in fact, we've gone crazy out back
Like only fools for each other would do
