Falling From Grace lyrics

I wish you love And happiness
I guess I wish you All the best
I wish you don't Do like I do
And ever fall in love with Someone like you
Cause if you fell Just like I did
You'd probably walk around the block like a little kid.
But kids don't know They can only guess
How hard it is To wish you happiness

I guess that love Is like a Christmas card
You decorate a tree You throw it in the yard

(Instrumental)

Well, it don't scare me none,
I've been there before,
Sideswiped an old Oak tree
In a rusted-out old Ford.
Shot at guys who were shootin' back
In the Second World War,
And it don't scare me none
I've been there before.

Well I fell in love with a woman
Who did not love me back,
Bare-handled rattle snakes
And threw 'em in a sack,

(Instrumental)

We started out
With a sin and a lie
And moved on to 'what's in it for me,'
And when trouble washed up, hell, we just let it flow by
And our kindness just washed out to sea.

They say Jesus died
On the old rugged cross
To save you from people like me
And Daddy, he slaved
For an uncaring boss,
'Cause nothin' worth nothin's for free

Now, Right now,
Look at the place I` m in,
When i think about things that i could have done
It´s impossible for me tp pretend.
But i see it now as the lights grow dim
and the world starts to close its eyes.
i just wanted to say goodnight,
Sweet Suzanne.
I hear the music playin`
but i no longer understand,
Around the corner, down the street
I´ts got to be better than where i am.
