Would You Catch a Falling Star
Catching Fallen Stars: Country Charms and Hardwood Floors
Lyrics
You know the crowd was very small for a country music show
The audience was small for a country music show.
But he faked a curtain call just like it was years ago
The performer pretended to take a bow, reminiscent of earlier times.
And then a lady grabbed his arm as he staggered down the aisle
A woman approached him as he moved through the crowd.
And with all his country charm he addressed her with a smile
Using his charm, he spoke to her with a smile.
Would you catch a fallen star before he crashes to the ground
The singer is asking if the listener would help someone in distress, metaphorically referred to as a fallen star.
Don't you know how people are nobody loves you when you're down
Reflecting on the fickleness of people, suggesting that nobody cares for you when you're facing difficulties.
Pick me up and take me home and I'll bring his old guitar
Requesting assistance to bring the distressed person, along with his old guitar, home.
Sing a golden oldie song if you'll catch a fallen star
Offering to sing a nostalgic song if the listener helps the fallen star.
He had a silver plated bus and a million country fans
Describing the artist's past success with a luxurious bus and numerous fans.
Now there's just a few of us and he drives a little van
Contrasting the current situation, where there are only a few fans, and the artist now travels in a small van.
And they were beatin' down his door the lovely women left and right
Highlighting the past attention from adoring women, now diminished.
And now he's on a hardwood floor a-wonderin' where he'll spend the night
Depicting the artist's current struggle, lying on a hardwood floor and uncertain about where to spend the night.
Would you catch a fallen star before he crashes to the ground
Reiterating the plea for help in rescuing the fallen star before he faces further difficulties.
Don't you know how people are nobody loves you when you're down
Emphasizing the theme that people tend to neglect or distance themselves from those facing challenges.
Pick me up and take me home and I'll bring his old guitar
Asking for assistance to bring the artist and his guitar home, promising a golden oldie song in return.
Sing a golden oldie song if you'll catch a fallen star
Repeating the request to catch the fallen star and sing a nostalgic country song.
Sing a golden country song if you'll catch a fallen star
Specifically mentioning a golden country song as part of the plea for help.
