I was alright 'til I fell in love with you

Well, my house is on fire
Burning to the sky
Well, I thought it would rain
But the clouds passed by

Now I feel like I'm coming
To the end of my way
But I know God is my shield
And He won't lead me astray

Still I don't know what I'm gonna do
I was alright 'til I fell in love with you

Boys in the street
Beginning to play
Girls like birds
Flying away

When I'm gone
You will remember my name
I'm gonna win my way
To wealth and fame

And I just don't know what I'm gonna do
I was alright 'til I fell in love with you

Well junk is piling up
Taking up space
My eyes feel
Like they're falling off my face

Sweat falling down
I'm staring at the floor
I'm thinking about that girl
Who won't be back no more

I just don't know what I'm gonna do
I was alright 'til I fell in love with you

Well, I'm tired of talking
I'm tired of trying to explain
My attempts to please you
Were all in vain

Tomorrow night
Before the sun goes down
If I'm still among the living
I'll be Dixie bound

Still I just don't know what I'm gonna do
I was alright 'til I fell in love with you
