Fall Down Along the Way

I know you knew me long before I came.

As a boy, I could feel you all along the way.

I always knew if I could just call on your name,

I’d feel you close and back in my heart again.

I wish that I could go back in time

And walk those woods with you another Alabama mile.

I wish I didn’t push away some of my young life,

I was ashamed when I fell short and I would try to hide.

You always pursue me

Even when I choose my own way.

I know you’re with me

On this path I’m on.

I know you’re even right beside me

When I choose to walk alone.

I know I’ll be running to you

Until my life ends someday.

I just wish I didn’t fall down along the way.

I wish I didn’t fall down along the way.

I wish young me treated every girl your way.

I missed that chance with one thing on my mind.

Can I help those after me with what I’m about to say?

Nice guys don’t finish last if the girl is right.

You always pursue me

Even when I choose my own way.

I know you’re with me

On this path I’m on.

I know you’re even right beside me

When I choose to walk alone.

I know I’ll be running to you

Until my life ends someday.

I just wish I didn’t fall down along the way.

I wish I didn’t fall down along the way.

All those times I’ve stumbled, you never left me.

I know you’re with me

On this path I’m on.

I know you died to forgive me of the things

That I’ve done when I’ve walked alone.

I know I’ll be running to you

Until my life ends someday.

I just wish I didn’t fall down along the way.

I wish I didn’t fall down along the way.
