Why'd you hesitate to say goodbye?

If a heavy heart deserves a tender touch

Why'd you instigate the fire's light

Just inches from the dry branch brush?

I wouldn't trade the grit for a moment's bliss

And bated breath begets an honest word

No doubt you'll junket 'til the edge of death

The somber wind too seldom heard

Motoring on like heaven's fallin' down

Motoring on like heaven's fallin' down

Motoring on like heaven's fallin' down

Motoring on like heaven is fallin'

Could we set the stage to set things right?

Or sentimentalize a better time?

Play the honkey tonks the hits one more night

Was tongue-in-cheek, you bit and bled it dry

Motoring on like heaven's fallin' down

Motoring on like heaven's fallin' down

Motoring on like heaven's fallin' down

Motoring on like heaven is fallin'

Lay to rest, wake to find my boots aren't by your bed

And you said it best "you gotta laugh to cry"

But everybody must get fed

Motoring on like heaven's fallin' down

Motoring on like heaven's fallin' down

Motoring on like heaven's fallin' down

Motoring on like heaven is fallin'
