Dennis Quaid – Fallen Lyrics
I went for a joyride down the Devi’s highway
My eternal soul hanging by the thread
I was determined that the wheel was going my way
Wind up beside the road, left for dead
Now I’m fallen (fallen)
I’m fallen (fallen)
Feeling so alone (so alone)
All alone dudes go back home
I was raised on the blood of Jesus
Taught the difference ‘tween wrong and right
I was my momma’s precious angel
I was my daddy’s little man alright
I had I’ll everything I needed (everything), to make something with my life
But bad things happen to good people
When you’re riding with the devil along fogy night
Now I’m fallen (fallen)
I’m fallen (fallen)
Feeling so ashamed
All I wanna do is go back home
I wish I’d been more careful ’bout what I’d wished for
Wished I’d been more carefully ’bout the company I kept
I wish I hadn’t taken I handed his money
I wish I wasn’t in Devil’s gate
He came like a friendly stranger (friendly stranger)
Offering whiskey, women, glory and drugs
After hum on top of the hum (on top of the hum)
I realizin’ who the hole I had dug
Now I’m fallen (fallen)
I’m fallen (fallen)
Fallen out, help me Jesus
All alone dudes go back home
Yes I’m fallen (fallen)
I’m fallen (fallen)
I’m the prodigal son (prodigal son)
All alone dudes go back home (go back home)
Go back home (go back home)
Go back home
