The Fall That Pride Goes Before

[Verse 1]
It's dark and it's cold on the street where I stand
And the pawnshop is closing its door
In the window is the ring you once wore on your hand
So this is the fall that pride goes before

[Verse 2]
I said that I'd see you come beg for it back
But you just threw your ring on the floor
It's the last thing I had but the clothes on my back
So this is the fall that pride goes before

[Verse 3]
I stumbled and fell without your hand to hold
Like a blind man that loses his cane
I must have a bottle to keep off the cold
And pretend I'm not going insane

[Verse 4]
Tomorrow somebody may give me a dime
Then I'll keep it till I get three more
And I'll buy me a bottle of forty cent wine
So this is the fall that pride goes before

[Outro]
So this is the fall that pride goes before
