The Fool's Jamboree

[Verse] Just rolling into town in my old Ford truck, Thought I'd swing by the diner, try my luck, Saw Sally Mae and the gang by the jukebox light, Figured I'd impress 'em, yeah, everything felt right. [Verse 2] Stood up on the table, sang my heart out loud, Tipped my hat to the waitress, got shouts from the crowd, But when I hit that high note, my voice did crack, And my good ol’ friend Billy had to pull me back. [Chorus] Oh, it's the fool's jamboree, everyone watching me, Making memories of the kind you wanna flee. Oh, I laugh so hard I cried, as I stumbled by, In this one-horse town, my spirits flew but dreams died. [Verse 3] Next day at the store, everybody knew, “How's the country star?” they'd ask, as I turned blue, Stepped in cow pie fresh as the morning dew, Guess my pride went slippin’ in my cowboy boots. [Verse 4] Saw the sheriff at church; he gave me a wink, Said, “You sure know how to make folks think,” Next time I’ll rehearse, or maybe just pass the mic, Still, I found my way back to that dining light. [Chorus] Oh, it's the fool's jamboree, everyone watching me, Making memories of the kind you wanna flee. Oh, I laugh so hard I cried, as I stumbled by, In this one-horse town, my spirits flew but dreams died.
