Story Behind The Song
Based on a true story.
Song Description
Reflection of a love lost suddenly.
It takes a strong man to his knees.
This woman can have such an impact....that it makes a grown man curl up...just like a baby.
The reason why.... "I never go...around mirrors"

"Down On His Knees "

He took the long way home...
Down that ole black-top road
Harvest moon ahead
Fresh clover, had just been mowed
Pullin' up the driveway
His house was cool and dark
Turned off the headlights
and put it into park
The days dirty lunchbox
Made his way to that backdoor
She was standing there to meet him
With a look he's not seen before
Why does it lightening
Sometimes without the rain
Why does it hurt inside
Long before the pain
What he feels tonight
He's never felt before
"Down on his knees"
Curled up on the floor
Hey baby....was all she said
As the tears ran down her face
She said...I can't do this anymore
I have to get out of this place
Bag's already in the car
There was nothin' he could say
Beginning of their ending
He knew she wouldn't stay
Sitin' in the dark
Tryin' to think of reasons why
She left without a warnin'
Now only memories to clarify
REPEAT CHORUS HERE
Music Solo Here
REPEAT CHORUS HERE
Well, he took the long way home
Down that ole black-top road
Now he's "down on his knees"
Curled up on the floor
Curled up on the floor
