Lefty Frizzel - If I Had Half The Sense (a Fool Was Born With) Lyrics

If I had half the sense a fool was born with I wouldn't let my pride keep hangin' on

To put up with the things you come up with I'd pick what's left of me and move along

Knowing just how much you liked to hurt me don't mean I've got to stand it every day

If I had half the sense a fool was born with I'd pack my bags and I'd be on my way

But I guess I'm twice as dumb as a biggest fool every morn

Cause even a fool leaves home when he knows the love is gone

If I had half the sense a fool was born with I'd leave my pride around

And cover me some ground and find myself to cry in another town

[ guitar + steel ]

But I guess I'm twice as dumb...
