Roger Miller - ALL FALL DOWN Lyrics
Complimentary 'ALL FALL DOWN' Ringtone
When I was a little country boy I had a dream, Our family wasn't poor but rich instead
I took to the road instead of staying home to help, And that dream just withered up inside my head
All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down
All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down
When I was a strong young man I fell in love with Sue, I wanted her to be my wife someday
But I couldn't bring myself to say "Sue, I love you", And that dream just fell to the ground and blew away
All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down
All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down
When I reached middle age I hungered for success, And things like fancy limousines and such
About as close as I came to that fancy limousine, Was a thirty thousand dollar greyhound bus
All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down
All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down
When I reached my golden years I often had a dream, That I'd be respected by society
But here I am on skid row with a bottle in my hand, And free advice to give to fools like me
All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down
All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down
All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down
All fall down, all fall down, When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down
Complimentary 'ALL FALL DOWN' Ringtone
