George Strait - Fifteen Years Going Up (And One Night Coming Down) lyrics

rate me

15 years together

We climbed by work and will

From a simple two room cottage

to a mansion on the hill

Now there's rose in the garden

But it's the coldest place in town

It took 15 years, goin' up

And one night comin' down

15 years of heaven

For one short night of sin

From blue skies forever

To an end

From out on a mountain

To both knees on the ground

15 years, goin' up

And one night comin' down

Her dreams have all been shattered

Her faith in my is gone

My tears tell her I'm sorry

But they can't write my wrong

One night wrote my story

How a man can lose it all

After 15 years goin' up

It's hard to take a fall

15 years of heaven

For one short night of sin

From blue skies forever

To an end

From out on a mountain

To both knees on the ground

15 years, goin' up

And one night comin' down

I've been, 15 years goin' up
