I've been good-time drunk
Enough to be bad-time sober
Broke a map dot's heart when it disappeared over my shoulder
I've been headstrong, riding dead end wrong
Good with God, but I dropped the ball
Spend my whole life holding on
But even when I feel lost

The ride was worth the fall
The fall was worth the smiles
The smiles were worth the tears
The tears were worth the miles
Miles were worth the pain
Pain was worth it all
It's all worth this life
The life is worth the ride
The ride is worth the fall

Had some "nowhere near it"s
And some "almost was"s
Left some mommas in tears
And some daddy's still cussing
'Cause what I should done and what could been
Even knowing now what I didn't know, then I'd climb back on again
The ride was worth the fall

The fall was worth the smiles
The smiles were worth the tears
The tears were worth the miles
Miles were worth the pain
Pain was worth it all
It's all worth this life
The life is worth the ride
The ride is worth the fall

The ride is worth the fall
The fall was worth the smiles
The smiles were worth the tears
The tears were worth the miles
Miles were worth the pain
Pain was worth it all
It's all worth this life
The life is worth the ride
The ride is worth the fall
