The Fall

I've been good-time drunk

Enough to be bad-time sober

Broke a map dot's heart when it disappeared over my shoulder

I've been headstrong, rightin' dead-end wrong

Good with God, but I dropped the ball

Spent my whole life holdin' on

But even when I fell off

The ride was worth the fall

The fall was worth the smiles

The smiles were worth the tears

Tears were worth the miles

Miles were worth the pain

Pain was worth it all

It's all worth this life

The life is worth the ride

The ride is worth the fall

Had some 'nowhere-near-it's'

And some 'almost-was's'

Left some mommas in tears, and

Some daddies still cussin'

'Cause what I shoulda done and what I coulda been

Even knowin' now what I didn't know then

I'd climb back on again

The ride is worth the fall

The fall was worth the smiles

The smiles were worth the tears

Tears were worth the miles

Miles were worth the pain

Pain was worth it all

It's all worth this life

The life is worth the ride

The ride is worth the fall, oh, oh, oh!

The ride was worth the fall

The fall was worth the smiles

The smiles were worth the tears

Tears were worth the miles

Miles were worth the pain

Pain was worth it all

It's all worth this life

Life is worth the ride

The ride is worth the fall, oh, oh, oh!
