Then they came along
In their giant truck
And they knocked you
They knocked you down
You shoulda seen yourself
Lyin' there all broken
Whoa, gravity
It got you good
I walked away
Pretending not to know you
And I hoped that you
Were still out cold
And I thought of the time
You said I was your favorite
And that I looked
Just like a holiday
Whoa, gravity-hee
Oh, gravity-hee
Oh, gravity-hee
Oh, gravity-hee
I was younger then
Barely in high school
When you found me
You took me in
And then one day
You put me on the highway
You said that gravity
Was gonna do me in
Whoa, gravity-hee
Oh, gravity-hee
Oh, gravity-hee
Oh, gravity-hee
Oh, gravity-hee
