I Took Her For A Fool
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm setting in this honky tonk down to my last dime
I'll bet you've heard this tale of woe at least a million times
I'm the guy that used to own that big house across the tracks
But the only thing that I own now are the cloths upon my back
A different girl most every night I thought this was the life
I tried to please them all but that just didn't please my wife
I kicked myself a million times for treating her so bad
I took her for a fool so she took me for all I had
I used to have a big garage two Cadillac's inside
A pretty wife who loved just me but I wasn't satisfied
The house the wife the car belong now to another man
Cause she caught me with another girl and that's when it hit the fan
