Anderson, John - Would You Catch A Falling Star Lyrics






You know the crowd was very small for a country music show
But he faked a curtain call just like it was years ago
And then a lady grabbed his arm as he staggered down the aisle
And with all his country charm he addressed her with a smile

Would you catch a fallen star before he crashes to the ground
Don't you know how people are nobody loves you when you're down
Pick him up and take him home and he'll bring his old guitar
Sing a golden oldie song if you'll catch a fallen star

He had a silver plated bus and a million country fans
Now there's just a few of us and he drives a little van
And they were beatin' down his door the lovely women left and right
And now he's on a hardwood floor a wonderin' where he'll spend the night

Would you catch a fallen star before he crashes to the ground
Don't you know how people are nobody loves you when you're down
Pick him up and take him home and he'll bring his old guitar
Sing a golden oldie song if you'll catch a fallen star
Sing a golden country song if you'll catch a fallen star

  95. h.... C....

    best country singer of all time!! congrats John!!

    h.... C....

    He s really good but he's no Hank Sr, George Jones or Merle Haggard .
    But I'd listen to his music all day .

  96. M.... C....

    one of the best song he ever done

    M.... C....

    I agree the good stuff

    M.... C....

    shit the bed yes

    M.... C....

    I agree. If you like this. Listen to wild and blue

  97. l.... h....

    I think it;s disgraceful that people like John Andersen, Gene Watson, Gilley, and others are not in the CM Hall of Fame. Must be political?

    l.... h....

    if John isn't in the cm hof, then it's a sham..... total disgrace....

    l.... h....

    He is one of the best country music singers to ever live

    l.... h....

    Real music

    l.... h....

    They dont need it. We true country music fans know how great he is!

    l.... h....

    @George MarkosVern Gosdin, Keith Whitley, Tanya Tucker, and Clint Black I'd add to the list as well.
