Free Fallin’ Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

[Verse 2]
It's a long day livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

[Chorus]
And I'm free
Free fallin'
Yeah, I'm free
Free fallin'

[Verse 3]
All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
And the good girls are home with broken hearts

[Chorus]
And I'm free
I'm free fallin'
Yeah, I'm free
Free fallin'

[Post-Chorus]
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)

[Bridge]
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I'm gonna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for a while

[Chorus]
Now I'm free (Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
Free fallin' (Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
Yeah, I'm free (Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
Free fallin' (Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)

[Outro]
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
Yeah, I'm free
Free fallin'
Oh
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
Free fallin' (Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
I'm free (Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
Oh, free fallin' (Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
Free fallin' (Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)

Jeff Lynne and I were sitting around with the idea of writing a song and I was playing the keyboard and I just happened to hit on that main riff, the intro of the song, and I think Jeff said something like, ‘That’s a really good riff but there’s one chord too many,’ so I think I cut it back a chord...
