Lyrics Hayes Carll

Hayes Carll

Don't Let Me Fall

I walked the highway since I can't remember

I cut my poor family right down to the bone

From the shadows of hell to the winds of December

They dined with the stranger, woke up all alone

So don't let me fall, 'cause I might not get up again

Just hold me tight, right now what I need's a friend

I've come too far for this to be the end

Don't let me fall, 'cause I might, not get up

God knows I tried to hold on to a feeling

Some old memory to keep in my heart

And I ask forgiveness from those I've forsaken

Forgiveness don't come in and it tears me apart

So don't let me fall, 'cause I might not get up again

Just hold me tight, right now what I need's a friend

I've come too far for this to be the end

Don't let me fall, 'cause I might, not get up

Killing this pain outside in the rain

One hand holds the bottle, one hand holds my shame

I don't know which comes first, I don't know which is worst

Riding behind or inside the hearse

So don't let me fall, 'cause I might not get up again

Just hold me tight, right now what I need's a friend

I've come too far for this to be the end

Don't let me fall, 'cause I might

Don't let me fall, 'cause I might

Don't let me fall, 'cause I might, not get up
