SPEED OF A FOOL
DAVID BALL
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 CAFÉ
F
SHE WAS HEADED NOWHERE
                                  C7
I WAS GOING HER WAY
F                                                               Bb
WITH A TRUSTING SOUL AND A NAÏVE  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
