Lyrics

Falling Down
Words and Music by John Gracie

Well, I crossed the line on the 49th with my back to the midnight sun
And I made my way down to Tennessee to write me a hit song
I drove all day and most of the night till I come to the river side
And I woke next day to the sound of a voice
And I was happy just to be alive
Cause I slept in the back on a rolled out mat but rest I didn?t get me none
What feeling good I had I lost to the heat of the burning sun
There are things you?ll say and things you will do
When there?s no one else around
But it?s the love of the woman that keeps me from falling down

Chorus: Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down

On a cold and rainy Nashville day
Outside of Gilley?s bar
I stopped to listen to a singer sing
And I watched him from afar
He must have thought I was Heaven sent
There with both feet on the ground
But I wasn?t there to lift him up, I was there to keep from fallin? down

Chorus: Falling down, falling down
Falling Down, falling down

There was a man who lived his life
On the edge in a rocky town
And when he saw God in the flame of a candle
As he watched it burning down
It was the best of highs and the worst of lows
There with both knees on the ground
He spent the rest of his life, from day to day
Trying to keep from falling down.

Chorus
