Lirieke: Shad Blair. Falling Down.

I was doing all right till the night I slipped
Drinking whiskey down till I was drunk as piss
Started walking around acting a fool
When I hit that guy I was thinking about you
I've been thinking real hard about your cocaine days
And how you drug me through your little chemical phase
Well I was younger then twice as naive but every now and again I find the strength to believe

You know sometimes it's easy most times it's hard
Sometimes I fly so high I feel I'm closer to God
But the devil's chains won't break I just kind of drag them around
One day I'm flying with my strength the next I'm on the ground falling down

You know some time went by before the next night I slipped
I was high on Jesus I pushed away my pills
You know I found me a woman who was virtuou
and true
But the night I slipped I paid forty down for a woman WHO'S just like you
So tell me mama is this as good as it gets
Little moments of pleasure followed by lifelong regrets
I'm writing this down wondering where you might be
Praying to goD you've changed and come save me
But I know it won't happen my little dream will never come true
And every night I look in the mirror I find I've turned out just like you
