I recall it clearly, like I'm seeing it today
I never felt a thing until you looked at me that way
Until I touched your skin, until you turned and walked away
But I recall it clearly like I'm seeing it today
Your skin, it smelled of sweat and smoke and little sweet cigars
The ceiling, stained with years of troubled hearts and covered scars
Your hand, it held my own right through the corridor of cars
And led me to the world of wishing wells and shooting stars
And I could have told you, darlin', it would end up like this
When you're kissed by a fool, you're fooled by a kiss
And I believed you, baby, and your silver, lying tongue
You were handsome and older, I was foolish and young
We drove on through the night into that sticky Texas heat
The moon was bright and shined down upon the vinyl seats
The low light had you looking like a lover in a dream
And you talked to me like I was something more than seventeen
And I could have told you, darlin', it would end up like this
When you're kissed by a fool, you're fooled by a kiss
And I believed you, baby, and your silver, lying tongue
You were handsome and older, I was foolish and young
The morning light shone somber through a lonely window frame
In the fading stars I wished I that I could just forget your name
Cut you from my past just cut the candle from the flame
To look back at it now I may have done it all the same
And I could have told you, darlin', it would end up like this
When you're kissed by a fool, you're fooled by a kiss
And I believed you, baby, and your silver, lying tongue
You were handsome and older, I was foolish and young
And I believed you, baby, and your silver, lying tongue
You were handsome and older, I was foolish and young
