I'd lie if I said I was surprised to see ya turn out this way
There's lightning in your eyes,
And a shotgun in the smile on your face
The blessings are all counted, the harvest is bound to get us through
And if I see the other side, there'll be no rest until I find you
When the walls fall down
When my last step hits the ground
Let 'em all gather round
And let the walls fall down
I'd look back if I cared to see that younger me there at the first
Some foolish, mannish boy,
With a barely managed ploy to beat the worst
And there you are, my friend, my heart in your hand, and time to kill
And I'd do it all again,
Another chance, and I'd stand beside you still
When the walls fall down
When my last step hits the ground
Let 'em all gather round
And let the walls fall down
A thousand miles behind me, and sunshine blinding my view
I can barely see ahead, and there's little more I've got left to lose
With your hand in mine, we'd laugh the joke of time right in its face
Lord, for a minute there, it felt like we'd live forever in this place
When the walls fall down
When my last step hits the ground
Let 'em all gather round
And let the walls fall down
And I'd stand beside you still
I would stand beside you still
When the walls fall down
When my last step hits the ground
Let 'em all gather round
And let the walls fall down
When the walls fall down
When my last step hits the ground
Let 'em all gather round
And let the walls fall down
Give me one last look around
And let the walls fall down
