Shakey Graves - Nobody's Fool Lyrics






Never alone
Always some new chaperone, seems you're never alone
Yeah, you climb to the top of the pile
Enjoy the view, stay for a while
Hard to get by on your own
When you're never alone

Life of regret
Oh, each drink and each cigarette leads to life of regret
So go out and make your amends
Plant you a garden and get you some friends
Trouble still, just what you get
In this life of regret

Chosen by God
Whether you like it or not, you've been chosen by God
So stand there, curse at the clouds
You know the answer, so scream it out loud
Never asleep on the job
Heaven, no useless old slob
Oh, never forget what you're not
You've been chosen by God

But you're nobody's fool
That's the one thing they don't teach in school
You ain't nobody's fool
Don't worry, you'll turn out fine
Better off dead than waiting in line
Stick to that golden old rule
You ain't nobody's fool

  13. E.... A....

    The Lyrics strike so deeply with me, I’m deeply connected to this song. After many many relationships, friendships and encounters I’m still a lover, however, I’ve learned. I am a believer, but I’m NOBODIES FOOL!!! Nobody’s Fool will be a part of my next tattoo, because if I know anything about the new and wiser me...

  26. N.... S....

    I'd marry him if he asked me too. And I'm a straight male with children.

    N.... S....

    Haha ❤

  27. c.... s....

    I'm not even religious and I still think this is one of his best songs. You can hear the power of the song in the music.

    c.... s....

    cale shoemaker i think that verse is commentary on those shitty, mediocre people who use their beliefs as a big neon disclaimer for their entire lives and how they act.

    c.... s....

    Uhhh you don’t have to believe in god to listen to a song that says “god” in it lmao

  28. M.... W....

    Where can I get the lyrics of this song?.....I love this song so much!!!!

  29. C.... S....

    damn. playing in a graveyard for a brewery wearing a fucking fitted and a leather jacket. wtf happened to Shakey Graves, did he sell out? because that's what it looks like. not even being a hater, I love this guy's music, but this is some fake shit. that money called and he replied

  30. D.... R....

    Clearly, there are 69 people floating around out there that can’t hear all that well. That, or they missed the “👍🏻” at the top of the screen.
    I’ve been listening to this cat for many years now, and will forever listen to him. By and large my favorite musician. If I could just sit down and jam with him for 1 hour, I’d be a happy camper.
    Cheers to you, Alejandro. You’re a phenomenal musician. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

  31. C.... &....

    Amazing 👍👏👏👏

  32. e.... ....

    Nice ball cap poser

  33. e.... ....

    Was a lot better before a corporate fuck beer company took his shite. Those boyos would come over to the midlantic and be soooooo cool. But were greedy toe suckers at the same time. Money, money, money.

  34. R.... D....

    A song with words you have to listen to. Probably more than a couple of times. Played by a musician.

  35. S.... S....

    Still in love with this beautiful man's Magick/music.Lots of love light and peace sent flowing your way Shakey..

  36. D.... B....

    Want a hot chick standing next to U? Here's one, sexy time.. pic. In a minute.

  37. R.... J....

    i like him so much better wearing cowboy hat lol

  38. A.... 8....

    Tabs anyone???

  39. j.... ....

    a ghost seems to be helping him out with the bass drum at 0:34

  40. P.... S....

    why hasn't this guy blown up yet

    P.... S....

    Paul Seibert , because people dont know real talent , only a select few.

    P.... S....

    Because recording labels decide what they want the public listening to and ensure it by signing and producing artists that fall in those lines.

  41. S.... M....

    💚💙💛

  42. C.... M....

    💙💙💙💙💙💙 your stunning

  43. T.... M....

    thank you.. this song came on at the exact moment God wanted it to. You're a big deal so is your music

  45. r.... a....

    What guitar(s) does Shakey like using? I forget what model that kinda guitar is

    r.... a....

    2:28 so stand there, curse at the clouds

  49. K.... V....

    Cheers!

    S.... _....

    LagunitasBeer is there a way you could throw it on Spotify or something? And thank you for your time. Cheers!

    S.... _....

    If Shakey owns the recording, it will be free on his Bandcamp page on or around Austin's Shakey Graves Day in a few weeks. There will definitely be some recording of this song.

    S.... _....

    Mp3 rocket, make this video into an mp3. No risk

  64. T.... N....

    Shakey makes me want to fall in love and dance on our wrap around porch on our property with dogs and chickens running around and sip Tennessee whiskey

  76. W.... C....

    Awesome setting

  77. D.... W....

    What a great song!

  78. A.... C....

    I keep finding songs of his that I like the live version better than the studio version. Good stuff

    A.... C....

    https://youtu.be/s28ol9g_GfQ The Live Album We All Deserve

    A.... C....

    Alex Chapman Honestly think all of his live stuff is better than his studio stuff.

    A.... C....

    I don't really like the produced studio stuff but his Live performances are outstanding.

    A.... C....

    Night and day difference. Both good stuff, but the live versions really sink deep.

  79. L.... c....

    the editing s bothersome

    just wanna watch how this nigga plays guitar

    L.... c....

    lmao so tru

    L.... c....

    Last claptrap
    I know this be filmed mostly in black and white but the brotha be white home slice

    L.... c....

    Chad Anderson, actually I believe he's Hispanic,got a Hispanic name anyway

    L.... c....

    Actually he's half hispanic, half white. Watch the first Audiotree Live version. It's explained. Rose-Garcia. "We white folk" and "Eeeyyyy, we live in Texas now... Ohhkay" lol He's also a real funny dude... Btw, Thanks Shakey for all the awesome music. You are my new favorite drinking-to artist.

    L.... c....

    Matt Agrella Look up lightnin' Hopkins if you're after drinking music

  80. W.... ....

    This is in my mind the best acoustic video of Shakey Graves released to date. If you like the suitcase kick drum, please check out my channel! Ive got some live sessions up, all inspired by Shakey!

  81. M.... ....

    Oh my goddd Shakey I don't have that much money pls stop making me buy every one of your songs

    M.... ....

    +ChrisMcloviification Ohhh okay I thought you were rippin me up for stealing them or something, no problem my man haha

    M.... ....

    @MultiGuitarify
    haha definitely not man (:

    M.... ....

    Where'd you buy this song?

    M.... ....

    I want to buy this song!

    M.... ....

    You are an amazing man with superior talet... music that moves me

  82. S.... M....

    Why does he have the cutouts on his guitar taped up?

    S.... M....

    +Shalon Mooney Something to do with the sound of hollow body guitars when they're amplified

    S.... M....

    +Shalon Mooney you get bad feedback sometimes with the hollow body when you plug it up

    S.... M....

    Tape over the "f holes" helps dampen the resonance of the guitar. He is playing outside so feedback would not be an issue.

    S.... M....

    +my left toe this is not true... at least that last bit ;)

    S.... M....

    Archtop guitars get a lot of feedback when they're amplified, so he puts gaffer tape over the f holes to keep it in check to a certain extent.

  83. I.... ....

    Awesome

  84. K.... 2....

    I seriously love all of his songs.

  85. w.... ....
