Lyrics
Something To Fall Back On
(Verse)
My feet hit the floor with the morning sun, I?m out the door and on the run, I put my dreams away, till? after closing time.
Put in a nine to five, It?s a long hard day, when you?re watching every
second barely tick away, all the bills are due and I feel like cryin?.
(Chorus)
That?s why mama told me son you better stay in school, get an education don?t you be a fool. It was good advice, but I didn?t
take it,(take it). I said I?m only young once so I gotta try, even it means barely gettin? by, I?ll be happier, that sounds crazy don?t it (don?t it)
And knowing me if I?ve got something to fall back on, I?ll fall back on it.
Yea as long as I?ve got something to fall back on, I?ll fall back on it.
(Verse)
My woman and me hardly get along, even when I?m there I?m not home,
She?s a modern girl, who can make it on her own. So we both took a look across the fence, the grass seemed greener and it just made sense
to try something now, so there?s no question.
(Chorus)
So I filled up some boxes and I moved away, agreed it was best if we separate, take some time alone, to think it over. Take a ride on the single
side it won?t be long, you can?t miss anything if it?s not gone, we?ll be happier, that sounds crazy don?t it. And knowing me if I?ve got something to fall back on, I?ll fall back on it. Yea as long as I?ve got something to fall back on, I?ll fall back on it.
(Bridge)
Go on and take a chance it?ll work itself out. Don?t get old and not know what I?m talking about.
Don?t wanna fall back on and on and on and on and on it.(repeat to fade)
