As recorded by Cody Johnson (2024 release) [Intro] Em7 Cadd9 G D Em7 Cadd9 G D [Verse 1]
          Em7
I've been good-time drunk

             Cadd9
Enough to be bad-time sober

        G                                   D
Broke a map dot's heart when it disappeared over my shoulder

          Em7
I've been head strong right and dead end wrong

Cadd9
Good with God, but I dropped the ball

         G
Spend my whole life holding on

    D
But even when I fell off
[Chorus]
                       Em7
The ride was worth the fall

                       Cadd9
The fall was worth the smiles

                          G
The smiles were worth the tears

                         D
The tears were worth the miles

                     Em7
Miles were worth the pain

                  Cadd9
Pain was worth it all

                    G
It's all worth this life

                      D
The life is worth the ride

                      Em7  Cadd9 D
The ride is worth the fall
[Verse 2]
          Em7
Had some "nowhere near it"s

          Cadd9
And some "almost was"s

          G
Left some mommas in tears

         D
And some daddy's still cussin'

              Em7
'Cadd9ause what I should done and what could been

     Cadd9                               G                   D
Even knowin' now what I didn't know, then I'd climb back on again
[Chorus]
                       Em7
The ride was worth the fall

                       Cadd9
The fall was worth the smiles

                          G
The smiles were worth the tears

                         D
The tears were worth the miles

                     Em7
Miles were worth the pain

Pain was worth it all

                    G
It's all worth this life

The ride is worth the fall
