[Verse 1: Carson McKee & Josh Turner]
If I was a fool and you were drunk
We'd be in the backseat making love
But I ain't no fool, no I ain't no fool

If I was thirty-five and you were thirty-five too
We might live together on 15th Avenue
Baby, I ain't grown, though I'm older than you

[Chorus 1: McKee & Turner]
Hear the sirens moan
And the freight trains blow
I can't love you

[Verse 2: McKee & Turner]
There's nothing wrong with a little fun
But fun ain't worth no heartache when the deal is done
And I'm going down to where nobody knows your name

And I can't believe how far it's gone
One second I had everyone's attention, now everybody's gone
And I'm thinking out loud in a dark and empty room

[Chorus 2: McKee & Turner]
I got my heart broke
By a love note
And I can't love you
[Bridge: McKee & Turner]
We could run away to Calgary or Spain
We could burn all our records, change our names
And when they say that love don't wait for you
I'd tell them that they're wrong, that it's not true
That's what I'd do if I was a fool

[Outro: McKee & Turner/McKee]
If I was a fool
If I was a fool
If I was a fool
