Here I sit a nobody with no one   And bein' me ain't really all that fun   Leavin' her wasn't very smart   Admittin' I was wrong wouldn't be so hard      If it was cool to be a fool   I'd be the hippest guy around   If a heartache made you famous   I'd be known from town to town      If tears were made of pennies   And a cold beer brought her back   My bank account and self esteem   Would both be in the black      If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad   About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had   Hey, I could be a star if it was cool to be a fool      But we all know the way it really is   You don't get recognized for doin' things like this   You spend a lotta time feelin' sorry for yourself   It doesn't really mean that much to anybody else      If it was cool to be a fool   I'd be the hippest guy around   If a heartache made you famous   I'd be known from town to town      If tears were made of pennies   And a cold beer brought her back   My bank account and self esteem   Would both be in the black      If some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad   About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had   Hey, I could be a star if it was cool to be a fool      If it was cool to be a fool   I'd be the hippest guy around   If a heartache made you famous   I'd be known from town to town      If tears were made of pennies   And a cold beer brought her back   My bank account and self esteem   Would both be in the black      And if some Hollywood producer made a movie that was sad   About some guy who lost the best thing he ever had   Hey, I could be a star if it was cool to be a fool   Hey, I could be a star if it was cool to be a fool
