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.
Chorus
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.
(Repeat Chorus)
