Here I Am Fallin' Again
Hank Williams Jr. · Habits Old And New [1980]
I sure didn't plan it and I don't understand it but here I am fallin' again
Here I am lyin' again making up places that I've never been
I thought I was through with these heart breaking blues
But here I am lyin' again
Why don't a man ever take time to think what is at stake?
Is it the danger or the pleasurable stranger?
But those are the chances we'll take
I'd hate to come face to face with her and her at the same place
'Cause it will be hell if I had to tell her someone has taken her place
I had a beautiful wife, she found it all out one night
And the pleasurable stranger, Lord I didn't change her
And I lost it all this time
So here I am cryin' again and callin' sympathy from my ole friends
He once loved her and she once him and here I am cryin' again
Here I Am Fallin' Again
