The Harder They Fall — John Denver

Aspen, Colorado on a Saturday night Jesse wishes she was at home Upset because her baby just ain't treatin' her right So afraid of being alone Said she's heard some stories

He's been runnin' around Said somehow she knows it's all true She said a breaking heart can make a terrible sound She said she just don't know what to do Think about a bad time

Can't get much worse Think about a hard line

Take it to the wall This won't be the last time, Sure ain't the first The bigger they are, The harder they fall

You might say she's caught

Between a rock and a hard place You might think she just can't win Some just can't recover from a slap in the face Some just get right up and start all over again Think about a bad time

Can't get much worse Think about a hard line

Take it to the wall This won't be the last time, Sure ain't the first The bigger they are, The harder they fall

Think about a bad time

Can't get much worse Think about a hard line

Take it to the wall This won't be the last time, Sure ain't the first The bigger they are, The harder they fall

Aspen, Colorado on a Saturday night Jesse wishes she was at home She's mad because baby

Ain't treatin' her right She's so afraid of being alone She's so afraid of being alone Nobody wants to be all alone Nobody wants to be all alone She's so afraid of being alone We're so afraid of bein' alone
