Roger Miller - All Fall Down Lyrics
When I was a little country boy I had a dreamOur family wasnt poor but rich insteadI took to the road instead of staying home to helpAnd that dream just withered up inside my headAll fall down, all fall downWhen you build your dreams on wishes they fall downAll fall down, all fall downWhen you build your dreams on wishes all fall downWhen I was a strong young man I fell in love with sueI wanted her to be my wife somedayBut I couldnt bring myself to say sue, I love youAnd that dream just fell to the ground and blew awayAll fall down, all fall downWhen you build your dreams on wishes they fall downAll fall down, all fall downWhen you build your dreams on wishes all fall downWhen I reached middle age I hungered for successAnd things like fancy limousines and suchAbout as close as I came to that fancy limousineWas a thirty thousand dollar greyhound busAll fall down, all fall downWhen you build your dreams on wishes they fall downAll fall down, all fall downWhen you build your dreams on wishes all fall downWhen I reached my golden years I often had a dreamThat Id be respected by societyBut here I am on skid row with a bottle in my handAnd free advice to give to fools like meAll fall down, all fall downWhen you build your dreams on wishes they fall downAll fall down, all fall downWhen you build your dreams on wishes all fall downAll fall down, all fall downWhen you build your dreams on wishes they fall downAll fall down, all fall downWhen you build your dreams on wishes all fall down
