Fallin' Out - Robert Earl Keen

I drove all night to be here

I only stopped for gas

Saw the sun come up this morning as I came across the pass

I’m tired and wired and uninspired and broke in many ways

I’m hoping you won’t mind if I stay a couple days

I called about a week ago to let you know the score

But I didn’t leave a message ‘cause I wasn’t really sure

You’d even want to see me after all I put you through

But I really couldn’t help myself

Feelin' how I do

My nights are long and lonely roads

My days are just the same

And every single song I write is crying out your name

If I’ve slept a wink at all I can’t remember when

'€˜Cause fallin' out of love ain’t half as good as fallin' in

I’ll sleep out on the sofa

I won’t take up much room

Leave my stuff out in the car

'Cause I’ll be goin' soon

Somewhere down the line I’ll write you letters now and then

I know that you won’t read a word but I can still pretend

My nights are long and lonely roads

My days are just the same

And every single song I write is crying out your name

If I’ve slept a wink at all I can’t remember when

'€˜Cause fallin' out of love ain’t half as good as fallin' in
