FALLING ONTO ROCKY GROUND

It’s Sunday morning and my head is ringing
From a night of drinking whiskey, beer and gin
When I came home you told me I was leaving
You were done living with the hell that I put you in

I tried to hide it but secrets are hard to keep
I thought that I would never be found out
But like a storm that is black over the ocean
My eyes filled your heart with the fires of doubt

Now, I’m falling…I’m falling…
I’m falling onto rocky ground

“You’d better stop and think of something clever
To tell the kids now that you won’t be coming home any more.”
‘Cause they’ll come asking, “What’s happening to Daddy?”
And the truth’s gonna fall like a stone to the ocean’s floor

All this anger just because a pretty, young girl
Showed you some kindness down at Mattie’s Bar
You’d think a family man would’ve know so much better
Instead of letting things go too far

Now, you're falling…your falling…
You’re falling onto rocky ground

It’s Sunday morning and my head is ringing
From a night of drinking whiskey, beer and gin
This room I’m renting is dark and smells of lonely
Just like this new world that I’m living in

I tried to hide it…but the devil’s never far away
I tried to hide it…but the truth you found
I tried to hide it…in a kiss so unfaithful
And now I’m just falling…

I’m falling…I’m falling…
I’m falling onto rocky ground…
