Free Fallin'
Lynne/Petty Lyrics

She's a good girl, loves her mama
She is a kind-hearted girl who adores and cares for her mother.

Loves Jesus and America, too
She is very fond of her religion and country.

She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
She loves Elvis Presley passionately, even though it may seem unusual to others.

Loves horses and her boyfriend, too
She loves both horses and her boyfriend with equal enthusiasm.

And it's a long day livin' in Reseda
Living in Reseda can be tiring and monotonous.

There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
The presence of the freeway near the house makes it hard to relax.

And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her
The singer is seen as bad because he doesn't miss his ex-girlfriend.

I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
He is aware of his fault in breaking her heart.

And I'm free, free fallin'
The singer experiences true freedom by letting himself fall.

All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Everyone who is weird or out of place in society, like vampires, can be seen strolling around in the valley.

Move west down Ventura Boulevard
They travel down Ventura Boulevard towards the western end.

And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
The bad guys are hiding in the shadows, avoiding social connections.

And the good girls are home with broken hearts
Good girls are generally trustworthy and invested in relationships but have broken hearts.

I wanna glide down over Mulholland
The singer wants to travel over Mulholland in a graceful manner.

I wanna write her name in the sky
The singer desires to write his lover's name in the air to express his feelings for her.

I'm gonna free fall out into nothin'
He will allow himself to fall into emptiness to escape reality.

Gonna leave this world for a while
He plans on leaving this world to exist somewhere else temporarily.

Yeah I'm free (free fallin', now I'm free fallin')
He repeats that he is free several times as he experiences falling.

Free fallin' (free fallin', now I'm free fallin')
He sings that he is falling freely, again with the repetition.

Now I'm free fallin'
He is experiencing freefall and enjoying the feeling.

Oh! Free fallin'
Here, Lynne emphasizes the thrill of the free fall.

And I'm free
The true feeling of freedom continues.

Oh, free fallin'
Once again, Lynne highlights the exhilaration of falling.
