Ricky Van Shelton Lyrics
"Statue Of A Fool"

(Jan Crutchfield)

Somewhere there should be for all the world to see,
A statue of a fool, made of stone
The image of a man, who let love slip through his hands
And then just let him stand there all alone.

And there on his face, a gold tear should be placed
To honor the million tears he's cried
And the hurt in his eyes would show so everyone would know
That concealed is a broken heart inside.

So build me a statue
And Lord, build it high so that all can see.
Then inscribe, "The World's Greatest Fool."
And name it after me, after me...
