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 staying 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 couldn't bring myself to say sue
