Can’t Fool Your Own Blood Songtext
von Sam Williams

I think that momma′s drinkin' again
There′s a sparkle in her eye
And how I love to see her laughing
Oh, do I

God knows I've prayed, for that smile
She got a suite at the new hotel downtown
That ain't something she does
And tried to call me out of the blue, and act like
That was someone she was
But you can′t fool your own blood

You can lie to a liar
Go ahead and flame the fire
Burn down, everything you love
You can steal from a thief
I′ll act like I believe
But you can't fool your own blood


And I know roads, that I don′t walk down
I don't walk down
Not no more
They take me places, I don′t wanna go
Don't wanna go again
But now and then, I take a wrong turn

And then the lost highway claims me its own
I′ve got a voice in my head
Tells me it's fine, no matter what it does
Got a broken compass in my pocket
It's telling me, where it is I come from
But you can′t fool your own blood

And you can lie to a liar
Go ahead and flame the fire
And burn down, everything you love
You can steal from a thief
I′ll act like I believe
But you can't fool your own blood


Momma, you can lie to a liar
Go ahead and flame the fire
And burn down, all it is you love
You can steal from a thief
I′ll act like I believe
But you can't fool your own blood
No, no, you can′t fool
No, you can't fool
You can′t fool your own blood
