Texty: Patty Loveless. Born-Again Fool.

He sits on a park bench and stares into space
Thinking of his bright future that has now been erased
He once loved a woman whose love wasn't true
Now all that remains is a born-again fool

Mistakes, he's made many in his passage of life
She was the first wrong he couldn't make right
She left him no reason, she left no excuse
All she left was the shell of a born-again fool

Believing that her love would be his salvation
But faith in her heart proved to be his damnation
Another falsado, another heart torn in two
Oh, there's no one as lost as a born-again fool

Well, he gave all she asked for, she took all he had
She made him her puppet with no strings attached
He did all she wanted but he never knew
She was only creating a born-again fool

Believing that her love would be his salvation
Faith in her heart proved to be his damnation
Another falsado, another heart torn in two
Oh, there's no one as lost as a born-again fool

He sits on a park bench still wondering why
As the whole world unnoticing passes him by
Such a forlorn conclusion that his life led him to
Betrayed and deceived he's a born-again fool
