Well, my nerves are exploding and my body´s tense
I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
I´ve been hit too hard, I´ve seen too much
Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
I don´t know what I´m gonna do
I was all right ´til I fell in love with you

Well, my house is on fire, burning to the sky
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 all right ´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
I don´t know what I´m gonna do
I was all right ´til I fell in love with you

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 don´t know what I´m gonna do
I was all right ´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
I just don´t know what I´m gonna do
I was all right ´til I fell in love with you
