Speed Of A Fool

F 
COULDN'T TELL ME NOTHING 
Bb                                             F 
HAD TO LEARN IT ON MY OWN 
                                                    Bb 
 ON THE RESTLESS SIDE OF SEVENTEEN 
          C7                            F 
THE DAY THAT I LEFT HOME 
F                                                Bb 
SCREAMING DOWN THAT HIGHWAY 
 F                                                         Bb 
WITH A PASSION TO BREAK ANY RULES 
               C7                                                  F 
I WENT CRASHING AT THE SPEED OF A FOOL 
F Bb F 
F 
SHE WAS SERVING ALL NIGHT COFFEE 
Bb 
AT A SAN ANTONIO CAF? 
F 
SHE WAS HEADED NOWHERE 
                                  C7 
I WAS GOING HER WAY 
F                                                               Bb 
WITH A TRUSTING SOUL AND A NA?E  HEART 
F                                                    Bb 
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO 
 
SO I WENT CRASHING AT THE SPEED OF A FOOL 
 
CHORUS 
YOU'RE EITHER BORN FOR HOLDING BACK 
OR BOUND FOR LETTING GO 
SO I THROW CAUTIO TO THE WIND 
WHENEVER IT MAY BLOW 
IT'S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW 
I GO CRASHING AT THE SPEED OF A FOOL 
 
GOT A HUNGER FOR THAT HIGHWAY 
I KNOW WILL NEVER END 
LORD I CAN'T HELP WHAT I'M NOT 
AND WON'T CHANGE WHAT I AM 
'TIL THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER 
TO MY OWN SELF I'LL BE TRUE 
AND GO CRASHING AT THE SPEED OF A FOOL 
 
CHORUS 
I GO CRASHING AT THE SPEED OF A FOOL
