Designated fool
v
Another night, another bar
keep on looking
and still this glass won't tell me where you are
v
Another session on this stool
Heard someone say
See that guy? We call him the designated fool!
c
Those words cut through me like a knife
can't even get being drunk right
So true, but so cruel
yeah laught at me, the designated fool
v
Ordered myself a final Jack
Paid my tab
and determined I won't be coming back
v
Boy it hurt others could set
way she makes me feel
Salvaged what little pride was left of me
c
Those words cut through me like a knife
can't even get being drunk right
So true, but so cruel
yeah laugh at me, the designated fool

b
Least I heard that wake up call
why go through all this pain?
it's over, she don't care at all
starting today, a I'll start again

c2
Those words cut through me like a knife
can't even get being a drunk right
So true, but so cruel
No more the designated fool

hi Travis..I like the concept..I hear this as a trad country song. I`m good with this! I`m going to go read the gospel songs, and comment, that genre don`t know, i`m not there much. Lane

Travis,

Some superb lines here: "this glass won't tell me where you are" and "can't even be drunk right"--good stuff! Enjoyed the read.

Regards,

Good idea Travis. Designated is a bit of a mouthful to sing so maybe another similar simpler word instead?

there's lots of fools in this world and being designated hits the mark. Mike

Thanks for comments Mike and Colin
Designated is long admitted Colin but there lays the hook so it's not easy to change
