It seems like years and a million tears since you've left the old hometown You've chained they say and the great white way is your new stomping ground It's plain to see you've forgotten me for you never write or call But I'll be around when they let you down and I'll catch you when you fall I'll catch you when you fall there's no else but you Now you're flying high but honey by and by you're gonna cry for love that's true So when you're up town baby starts giving you the stall I'll be around when they let you down and I'll catch you when you fall [ steel - fiddle ] I've heard it said they've turned your head you're ashamed to 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 up town clothes you're not fooling me at all When you're feeling bad your old country lad is gonna catch you you fall I'll catch you when you fall...
