Fast Fallin’ Friend

My heart is a fast fallin’ friend.
He goes all in when it’s too fast to swim.
I’ve tried to warn him a time or two before,
But he just smiled and bet some more.

Well I jumped in this time around.
Stood right by him, didn’t make a sound.
He was up, but the river flushed him in.
Now I’m sittin’ sad again.

I’ll ride on home, broke, alone.
Singin’ a song I oughta know.
I still believe one day he’s gonna win
My old fast fallin’ friend.

That man’s always been a dreamer,
Reckless heart, firm believer.
He holds on until the bitter end,
Leaves me sittin’ sad again.

Ride on home still alone,
Singin’ a song I oughta know.
I still believe one day he’s gonna win,
My old fast fallin’ friend.

GUITAR SOLO!

Drank one down and then another.
There was you and there’ll be others.
I know, I still believe one day we’re gonna win…

Ride on home, drunk, alone.
Singin’ an old song I oughta know.
I still believe one day he’s gonna win,
My old fast fallin’ friend…
One day my fast fallin’ friend.

    I really REALLY like that song. I just found your blog, so forgive me if you have already explained this: But where do you live and do you play your music in public?
