It All Falls Apart

On a southbound 747 headed back from Nashville
Coming home to put a good friend in the ground
My tray table up, my seat laid back
Trying to count a few sheep, before this plane touches down
And then this fellow beside me starts asking about life
I looked at him and laughed, said you got the wrong guy
And I'll tell you why

It all falls apart
Hoping's the last thing you should do
So when you get back home you should find
Something to hold onto
No life ain't fair, so when you walk through that door
You should hit your knees and beg God please before
It all falls apart, yeah yeah

Well I got off that first plane in Chicago
I thought I'd be in Illinois all night
But I finally heard my number, and I ran toward that gate
Turns out, they overbooked that flight
And then this fellow in front of me starts cussing out loud
I looked at him and laughed, said you need to calm down
And he turned around and said

It all falls apart
Laughing's the last thing you should do
Yeah you act smug until they pull that rug
Out from underneath you
No life ain't fair, so when you walk through that door
You should hit your knees and beg God please before
It all falls apart, yeah

Well they let that man on that airplane
He got the last first class seat
While I got left in Chicago
And I still ain't had no sleep
But I'm thankful that He showed me
That a second chance was real
Cause I heard that plane went down in a Kansas field

It all falls apart
Praying's the first thing you should do
When you get back home you should find
Something that you belong to
No life ain't fair, so when you walk through that door
You should hit your knees and thank God please before
It all falls apart, yeah, it all falls apart
It all falls apart, yeah yeah, it all falls apart
