lyrics

You’re probably sittin’ there right now
Starin’ through the room
Tryna’ figure out just what to do
I bet you haven’t seen the light of day
Since I up and walked away
And now you don’t know what you’re goin’ through

I thought for weeks
That I should call
And try to help you see it all
But I never really had chance to breath

And I’m a fool
You know it’s true
I’m the biggest fool for foolin’ with you
But I’d rather be a fool than just a thief

Fool than a thief

Friends they’d say I’d slipped away
Rememberin’ back to yesterday
When I played the way I needed to be free

I let you have too much of me
When I was figurin’ just how to be
A man who walked away from all he’d seen

And I’m a fool
You know it’s true
Im the biggest fool for foolin’ with you
But I’d rather be a fool than just a thief

Fool than a thief
Fool than a thief

Troubles come to everyone
But keep them to yourself my love
Don’t go making them out to be me

I know that you can’t walk the line
But please don’t throw me to the fire
I’m a gentle man
So please just let this be

And I’m a fool
You know it’s true
I’m the biggest fool for foolin’ with you
But I’d rather be a fool than just a thief
Fool than a thief
Fool than a thief
Fool than a thief
Fool than a thief

"The songs are rich with meaning and truth…real and raw, just as true country music should be”.
Samuel J. Fell. Rhythms Magazine

Mastwyk plunges headlong into Seventies country-soul glam with lashings of cosmic American pedal steel and psych-guitar glitz.
Country Update

“Mastwyk conjures up the spirits of Conway Twitty and George Jones through well told stories of the heart.”
