Fool's Paradise Lyrics & Chords By Robben Ford

My mother told me, my father said it too
He said, "Son, fate's gonna catch right up with you
If you keep on drinking and gambling
Stayin' out all night, you're just living in a fool's paradise"

My mother told me, my father said it right
He said, "Son, you're gonna drop right out of sight
If you keep on drinking and gambling
Stayin' out all night, you're just living in a fool's paradise"

I have learned my lesson
Unlike some fools I've met
Things I've seen in this ole world
I'm not likely to forget

My mother told me, she sat right down and cried
She said, "Son, you're just committing suicide
If you keep on drinking and gambling
Stayin' out all night, you're just living in a fool's paradise"

I have learned my lesson
Unlike some fools I've met
Things I've seen in this ole world
I'm not likely to forget

My mother told me, she sat right down and cried
She said, "Son, you're just committing suicide
If you keep on drinking and gambling
Stayin' out all night, you're just living in a fool's paradise
You're just living in a fool's paradise
You're just living in a fool's paradise"
