The waltzing fool   He's got lights in his fingers   The waltzing fool   He just don't never say   The waltzing fool   He keeps his hands in his pockets   He waltzes the evening away      And it's a waltz to a woman   Who's lying beside you   It's a waltz to a face on the wall   When she's gone   It's a waltz to the rodeo   The damned thing it rides him   It's a waltz to a waltz      Now the waltzing fool   He just might be crazy   Because the waltzing fool   He keeps the moon in his car   The waltzing fool   He says it's running   On waltzes and waltzes      It's a waltz to a woman   Who's lying beside you   It's a waltz to a face on the wall   When she's gone   It's a waltz to the rodeo   The damned thing it rides him   It's a waltz to waltz   Just a waltz to a waltz      Now the waltzing fool   They say he's been drinking   But the waltzing fool   He's just got mud on his shoes   And the waltzing fool   He knows they're all thinking   He's only an old waltzing fool      But the waltzing fool   He's got lights in his fingers   The waltzing fool   He just don't never say   The waltzing fool   He keeps his hands in his pockets   And waltzes the evening away      The waltzing fool   His hands in his pockets   He's waltzing the evening away
