Free Fallin' lyrics

She's a good girl loves her mama
Loves jesus and america too
She's a good girl crazy 'bout elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
It's a long day livin' in reseda
There's a free-way runnin' through the yard
And i'm a bad boy cause i don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
Now i'm free
Free fallin'
Yeah i'm free
Free fallin'
All the vampires walking through the valley
Move west down ventura boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts
Now i'm free
Free fallin'
Yeah i'm free
Free fallin'
Free fallin'
Now i'm free fallin'
Now i'm
I wanna glide down over mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
Gonna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for awhile
Now i'm free
Free fallin'
Yeah i'm free
Free fallin'
Free fallin'
Now i'm free fallin'
Now i'm
Yeah i'm free
Free fallin'
Oh
Free fallin'
Now i'm free fallin'
Now i'm
Yeah i'm free
Oh
