about

So I've begun recording my early morning writing/playing sessions while I'm watching my little one. The collection is affectionately called the "Dolly Sessions." If you're listening to this, it's because you are a friend.

"You're Gonna Fall Down" is my advice to my little girl, or to anyone for that matter. Life is full of failures along the way. Better get good at getting back on the horse...

lyrics

VERSE 1:
You're gonna fall down the first time you stand
Your hearts going to break when you trust a man
Just because it failed doesn't mean you're a failure

Never underestimate the weaker pup
There's something to be said for not giving up
You never know what chances are ahead on this adventure

CHORUS:
Don't give up just get good at failing
Failings live another day to try and get it done
Break a few bone sand bloody up a nose
Not every battle's meant to be one
And not every battle's gonna be won

VERSE 2:
Life it just might make you sweat the small stuff
Make you feel bad when the going gets rough
Just know we all have those days when we feel defeated

You don't need a medal to make you feel pride
Sometimes you win sometimes you tried
Sometimes there might even be a next time if you want it

CHORUS:
Don't give up just get good at failing
Failings live another day to try and get it done
Break a few bone sand bloody up a nose
Not every battle's meant to be one
And not every battle's gonna be won

BRIDGE:
the fire burns you will learn
touch your skin to know its hot
leaves a mark a well earned scar
could be dead but now youre not
try again jump back in
look on back and know you fought
best lessons learned are through failing

CHORUS:
Don't give up just get good at failing
Failings live another day to try and get it done
Break a few bone sand bloody up a nose
Not every battle's meant to be one
And not every battle's gonna be won
