A Day in the Life of a Fool

George Jones · At His Best [1990]

Off to work with no kiss of goodbye

Wear a smile on my face but I lied

Cup of coffee at the corner cafe

Catch the bus, read the news on my way

Those emotions the whole mornin' through

Start a day in the life of a fool.



Sometimes I dial our number in hopes you return

But there's never an answer, guess I'll never learn.

Hurry home, as tomorrow is through

Check the mail box no letter from you

Then I rush up the stairs to my memories, again

That's the day in the life of a fool.



Yes, I rush up the stairs to my memories of you

That's the day in the life of a fool...
