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      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      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, 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, I'll be around when they let you down   And I'll catch you when you fall
