I'm Not A Fool Lyrics

The local fire department is good at saving lives

They let me volunteer down there but they don't let me drive

I've coached Little League and soccer but I don't do that anymore

That all went out the window when I walked in through this door

Now I'm the life of the bar room and everybody's friend

When I tell the bartender Hey set 'em up again

And I know what it looks like but things aren't what they seem

I'm not a fool I just play one on Jim Beam

A cap comes off a bottle an evil genie casts a spell

Makes me throw all of my money into a whiskey well

I start knocking back the doubles 'til the barkeep makes last call

And I'm too stoned to read the neon writing on the wall

Now I'm the life of the bar room and everybody's friend

When I tell the bartender Hey set 'em up again

And I know what it looks like but things aren't what they seem

I'm not a fool I just play one on Jim Beam

And I can't help but thinking I could be a stand-up guy

If I could keep from drinking and it's not like I don't try

But when I sit down on this stool a change comes over me

I'm not a fool I just play one on Jim Beam

I'm not a fool I just play one on Jim Beam
