  • I have come 500 miles
    Just to see a halo
    Come from St. Petersburg
    Scarlett and me
    Well I open my eyes
    I was blind as can be
    When you give a man luck
    He must fall in the sea
    And she wants you
    To steal and get caught
    For she loves you
    For all that you are not

    [Chorus]
    When you're
    Falling down, falling down
    When you're falling down
    Falling down, falling down

    You forget all the roses
    Don't come around on Sunday
    She's not gonna choose you
    For standing so tall
    Go on and take a swig
    Of that poison and like it
    And don't ask
    For silverware
    Don't ask for nothing
    Go on and put your ear
    To the ground
    You know you will be
    Hearing that sound

    [Chorus]
    Falling down
    You're falling down
    Falling down, falling down
    Falling down, falling down
    When you're falling down
    Falling down, falling down

    Go on down and see
    That wrecking ball
    Come swinging on along
    Everyone knew
    That hotel was a goner
    They broke all the windows
    They took all the door knobs
    And they hauled it away
    In a couple of days
    Now someone yell timber
    And take off your hat
    It's a lot smaller down
    Here on the ground

    [Chorus]
    You're falling down
    Falling down, falling down
    Falling down, falling down
    Falling down

    [Chorus]
    Someone's falling down
    Falling down, falling down
    Falling down, falling down
