    Story Behind the Song
    I wrote this song in 15 minutes while living in Boulder, CO., just a few days prior to making my way back to Los Angeles after a year of soul searching and licking my wounds from a relationship gone bad (gee there's something original)...or just hiding, not sure which. Driving my '67 Mustang to an uncertain future with that former girlfriend (she's married and hopefully happy now) who just happened to be the singer in my previous band. A peculiar heaviness plagued my brain regarding the dichotomy of crazed LA life and the spiritual healing I had come to know roaming through the Rockies. I find that there is a good deal of humor in pain and it's there in the song. This little ditty has become a staple in our live shows due to the free-form jams we can wander into during the solo should we choose to do so.

    Lyrics
    When I think about the things she said
    It makes me just wanna stay in bed
    I look out my window see the world outside
    The things I see make me wanna cry
    But you can't fool me...
    No, you can't fool me

    Theres a world out there
    With flowers and trees
    Eagles fly high over me
    Dogs playing poker and smoking cigars
    I wander from my body but never too far
    Because you can't fool me...
    No, you cant fool me

    The cars on the parkway well, they dont see
    That porcupine about to cross the street
    He shoots his quills,
    Makes their tires go flat
    He's on his way so sassy and fat
    Sayin you can't fool me...
    You know you can't fool me
    I said you can't fool me
    No you can't fool me

    When I hike through the mountains
    Or a department store
    The creatures all ask
    Can we show you some more?
    When I fly through the air
    With the greatest of ease
    I always land right back on my feet...sayin'

    You can't fool me...No you can't fool me
    I said you can't fool me...
    You know you can't fool me

    When I fall back to earth and into your arms
    The great wide open will protect us from harm
    All that we are and all that we'll be
    Is here in our hearts for us to see

    Because You can't fool me...
    No you can't fool me
    I said you can't fool me...
    You know you can't fool me...
