Heartaches of a Fool Songtext
von Willie Nelson

Started out with the dreams
And the plans of a wise man
Ended up with the heartaches of a fool

As a boy, I would walk through the valleys
And gaze at the world all around
Made a vow that somehow I would find fame and fortune
I found it but look at me now


I had a sweetheart who would love me forever
Didn′t need her, I would reign all alone
And look at me, I'm the king of a cold lonely castle
The queen of my heart is gone

So gather ′round me, you fools, for a dollar
Listen to me, a lesson you'll learn
Wealth is happiness and love sent from heaven above
And the fires of ambition will burn

Started out with the dreams
And the plans of a wise man
And ended up with the heartaches of a fool
