Love Poem: Merely Foolish

Merely Foolish

Look out my window, I'm always going somewhere
Denver Colorado, San Antone, got a lot of friends there
This old cowboy heart, she called me Lucky Seven
I've journeyed so far but it's a long long way from Earth to Heaven

It's all a rodeo, a dog and pony show
I play it cool you know, when I am clueless
On my high horse my friend, headlong into the wind
A fool I've never been, just merely foolish

Wasted years, crazy dreams  when I was younger
Hollow cheers so it seems chasing down the thunder

It's all a rodeo, a dog and pony show
I play it cool you know, when I am clueless
On my high horse my friend, headlong into the wind
A fool I've never been, just merely foolish

Regret is a hurt that lingers now I'm older
Sorry is a word, I wish I would have told her

It's all a rodeo, a dog and pony show
I play it cool you know, when I am clueless
On my high horse my friend, headlong into the wind
A fool I've never been, just merely foolish

Just a big parade from cradle to the grave
Put on your smile and bravely wave hello
Life's a long hard ride and at the finish line
Love is the only prize rarer than gold

It's all a rodeo, a dog and pony show
I play it cool you know, when I am clueless
On my high horse my friend, headlong into the wind
A fool I've never been, just merely foolish
