Leon Russell
Fool’s Paradise
I often think off the life I've led
And oh, it's a wonder I ain't dead
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
Living in a fool's paradise

My mama told me, papa told me too
Said my child, it'll all catch up with you
Drinking and gambling, staying out all night
You living in a fool's paradise

Though I've learned my lesson
All of fool that came my way
I've learned things in this old world
I remember tell me time there

My papa told me, my mother said it right
She said my child, you're ruining your life
Just drinking and gambling, staying out all night
You living in a fool's paradise

Just drinking and gambling, staying out all night
You living in a fool's paradise
You living in a fool's paradise
