All Fall Down

When I was a little country boy I had a dream Our family wasn't poor but rich instead I took to the road instead of stayin' home to help And that dream just withered up inside my head All fall down all fall down When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down All fall down all fall down When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down When I was a strong young man I fell in love with Sue I wanted her to be my wife someday But I just couldn't bring myself to say Sue I love you And that dream just fell to the ground and blew away All fall down all fall down When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down All fall down all fall down When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down When I reached my middle age I hungered for success And things like fancy limousines and such About as close as I came to that fancy limousine Was a thirty thousand dollar greyhound bus All fall down all fall down When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down All fall down all fall down When you build your dreams on wishes all fall down When I reached my golden years I often had a dream That I'd be respected by society But here I am on skid row with a bottle in my hand And free advice to give to fools like me All fall down all fall down When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down All fall down all fall down When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down All fall down all fall down When you build your dreams on wishes they fall down
