Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 right and dead end wrong
Good with God, but I dropped the ball
Spent my whole life holding on
But even when I feel lost
[Chorus]
The ride was worth the fall
The fall was worth the smiles
The smiles were worth the tears
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
[Verse 2]
Had some nowhere near its
And some almost was's
Left some mommas in tears
And some daddies still cussin'
'Cause what I should've done and what I could've been
Even knowin' now what I didn't know then, I'd climb back on again
The ride is worth the fall
[Chorus]
The fall was worth the smiles
The smiles were worth the tears
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
[Chorus]
The ride was worth the fall
The fall was worth the smiles
The smiles were worth the tears
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
