	We know it's wrong, we know we shouldn't go there, but still we do and we end up by the "River of Fools."

	Story Behind the Song We've all known the kind of person the girl in this song is, the kind that uses us and then tosses us aside for the next unlucky soul. Writing the Song: I was listening to a lot of Dwight Yoakam and The Mavericks when I wrote this song. The guitar solo was a part of the song from the beginning - I can't imagine the song without it! Lyrics River of Fools I should have seen it coming for a long time But this heart of mine is easy to deceive And even though she told me that she's not mine Part of me refuses to believe River of Fools I'm drowning in your flow Although I try to let her go I can't fight the undertow I'm not so strong I can swim against the tide I'll never reach the other side River of fools I tell myself I'm better off without her And that I'll find a new love any day But all I seem to do is think about her And wonder why she ever went away chorus By now she's gone and found herself a new man And he will do the things she tells him to But she will only lead him through the soft sand And leave him by the river of fools chorus
