about

A Special Kind of Fool- Recorded in my basement. In my infantry AIT at Ft Benning, Ga. I had a drill instructor who took a serious dislike to me. He would say "ain't you a special kind of fool" several times a day followed by a less than polite request for 50 pushups. In retrospect however I'd have to agree with him. Here I'm on Irish tuned bouzouki, organ, key bass, kick, and claps. Janice Frillman is on fiddle and harmonies.

lyrics

LATELY I QUIT WONDERIN’ ’BOUT THIS LIFE I GOT
IN FACT- I’M ALMOST IN A PLACE WHERE I GET IT
ALL THE WORRY BOUT WHATEVER U R OR WHAT YOU’RE NOT
CAN SPIN OUT OF CONTROL IF YOU LET IT
YOU NEVER QUITE STUMBLE INTO PEACE OF MIND
HOLD TIGHT TO WHATEVER PEACE YOU FIND
IT TAKES A SPCL KIND OF FOOL TO DIG THRU THE DEBRI
TO THE PLACE HIS HAPPINESS IS LYIN’
THE WORLD ALWAYS HARD GETS HARDR CONSTANTLY
TAKES A SPECIAL KIND OF FOOL TO KEEP TRYIN’
INSTRUMENTAL
I BEEN THINKIN’ BOUT THE WORLD I’LL LEAVE BEHIND
I BEEN THINKIN’ ‘BOUT THE FOLKS COME AFTER
LIKE 2 LEAVE THE OLD PLACE SWEET FOR THEM 2 FIND
OR AT LEAST LITTLE LESS OF A DISASTER
EVERY TIME YOU THE WALL OR HIT THE GROUND
EVERYTHNG GETS BUSTED LOOSE OR TWISTED ‘ROUND
( CHORUS )
INSTRUMENTAL X 2
I BEEN WORKIN’ ON BEIN’ AN AGENT OF CHANGE
THERE’S SURE A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE HERE
I AIN’T HAD MUCH SUCCESS BUT IT’S STILL NOT OUT OF RANGE
IN THE DISTANCE I CAN SEE IT SO CLEAR
HARD TO GAIN ANY GROUND ANY GIVEN DAY
WHEN YOU START CLOSIN’ IN IT SLIPS AWAY
INSTRUMENTAL
( CHORUS 2 )
TAKES A SPECIAL KIND OF FOOL TO SWIM AGAINST THE TIDE
TO WALK INTO THE WAY THE WINDS BLOWIN’
TAKES A SPECIAL KIND OF FOOL TO KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON
STILL A SPECIAL KIND OF FOOL KEEPS ON GOIN’
