Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
"Fallin' Out"


I drove all night to be here
I only stopped for gas
Watched the sun come up this morning
As I came across the path

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

Well, I called about a week ago
To let you know the score
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
Feeling how I do

My night's a long and lonely road
My days are just the same
And every single song I'm write
Is crying out your name

If I slept a wink at all I can't remember when
'Cause falling out of love ain't half as good as falling in

I'll sleep out on the sofa
I won't take up much room
I'll leave my stuff out in the car
'Cause I'll be going soon

And somewhere down line I'll write you
Letters now and then
I know that you won't read a word
But I can still pretend

My night's a long and lonely road
My days are just the same
And every single song I'm write
Is crying out your name

If I slept a wink at all I can't remember when
'Cause falling out of love ain't half as good as falling in
