It seems like years and a million tears
Since you've left the old hometown
Now you've changed they say and the great white way
Is your new stomping ground
Well, it's plain to see you've forgotten me
Cause you never write or call
But I'll be around when they let you down
And I'll catch you when you fall
Well, I'll catch you when you fall
There's no one else but you
Now, you're riding high but honey by and by
You're gonna cry for love that's true
And when you're uptown, baby
Starts giving you the stall
Well, I'll be around when they let you down
And I'll catch you when you fall
Well, they've turned your head 'cause I've heard it said
You're ashamed of us back home
But I'll bet the sound of a southern bound
Still chills you to the bone
With your haughty pose and your uptown clothes
You aren't fooling me at all
When you're feeling bad this ol' country lad
Is gonna catch you you fall
Well, I'll catch you when you fall
There's no one else but you
Now, you're riding high but honey by and by
You're gonna cry for love that's true
And when you're uptown, baby
Starts giving you the stall
Well, I'll be around when they let you down
And I'll catch you when you fall
Well, I'll catch you when you fall
There's no one else but you
Now, you're riding high but honey by and by
You're gonna cry for love that's true
And when you're uptown, baby
Starts giving you the stall
Well, I'll be around when they let you down
And I'll catch you when you fall
Well, I'll be around when they let you down
And I'll catch you when you fall
