American Fool Lyrics - 1982

[ Buy American Fool ]

You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends,
Spin in the middle when the troubles begin,
Take it nice and easy and always pretend
That you're cool.........so cool..........so cool.

Say I'm alone and I'm wild and I will not be tamed",
Talk like a jerk or an educated brain,
Be an old girl drivin' the young boys insane,
Be a joker, a preacher....it does not matter.

Chorus:
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Don't need to be no strong hand
Don't need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to

Havin' good luck with your financial situation,
Play the ponies, be the president of the united nations,
Go to work and be a hollywood stud,
Drive your 4 wheel drive right into the mud, yeah

Repeat chorus

And then those hours when you're alone,
And there's nobody there except yourself,
I know it.........you wanna pick up the phone,
And say, "talk to me, talk to me, somebody please
Talk to me!" yeah!

Guitar solo
Ohh, yeah!
Chorus

Repeat chorus
