All the Soft Places to Fall Songtext
von Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson

Most of my life, I′ve been runnin' around
Playin′ and havin' a ball
And maybe, I've been on a party too long
But these memories are fun to recall

You see, we′ve got this thing about women
Smokin′ and good alcohol
But now we're lookin′ for a homelife, the clean smellin' sheets and
All the soft places to fall

The women we′ve known have been many
But they don't understand us at all
Though we′ve spent many long hours
Hopin' some old lover would call

Surely, somebody somewhere still wants us
Or don't nobody wants us at all
We′re lookin′ for a homelife and clean smellin' sheets
And all the soft places to fall


Most of our lives, we′ve been outlaws
Spent with our backs to the wall
I'm a rambler, I′m a seeker
And we're gettin′ weaker
And a whole lot more likely to fall

We're tired of the rocks and the brambles
Those barbed wire fences and all
And we're lookin′ for a homelife and clean smellin′ sheets
And all the soft places to fall

Most of our lives, we've been outlaws
Spent with our backs to the wall
I′m a rambler, I'm a seeker
And we′re gettin' weaker
And a whole lot more likely to fall

And we′re tired of the rocks and the brambles
Those barbed wire fences and all
And we're lookin' for a homelife and clean smellin′ sheets and the
All the soft places to fall
