Raise Your Glass To Foolish Me

Well it's another rainy night, here in my home town
And the rain beats down on the stone surround of the prison grounds
Well you can raise a smile but lower your eyes when you pass by
You'd surely understand if you were the man, doing time
I guess it's fair to say I had more than my share that day
And you know, I've been told, all prison bars are closed.

[Chorus]
So won’t you raise your glass get drunk for me
'Cos I'm the fool who drank too much, you see.
So won't you set them up unselfishly please raise your glass to foolish me.

[Verse 2]
When I left the factory gate I was perfectly straight and sober
But I stopped for a short one which led to a long one and murder
Well he was six feet five, about twice my size, but I was crazy
Because I heard him say, my wife, in the day was no lady.
I guess it's fair to say I had more than my share that day
And you know, I've been told all prison bars are closed

[Chorus]
So won’t you raise your glass and drink to me
'Cos I'm the fool who left her alone you see.
So won't you set them up unselfishly please raise your glass to foolish me.
