Breaking My Fall Lyrics

I come from strong roots, worn down some tall boots

Protecting the honor, of a dirty blue color

I kept you safe from the world; cause a man protects his girl

A hard life builds callous; I got mine in Dallas

From tractor to trailer; I built you a palace

I put it all in your name, and I never played games

So I thought you'd be there, but when I fell down

The only thing breaking my fall

Was the ground

The only thing breaking my fall

The only breaking my fall

The only breaking my fall

Was the ground

My pride in providing comes from the tradition

Watching you thriving, fueled my ambition

I held temptations at bay, and I never went astray

Somehow my effort, got drug through the desert

Friends seem to vanish when the water was measured

I always gave more than I took

What I took to you I gave

So I thought you'd be there, but when I fell down

The only thing breaking my fall was the ground

The only thing breaking my fall

The only breaking my fall

The only breaking my fall

The only breaking my fall

Was the ground
