About The Song

“Fifteen Years Going Up (And One Night Coming Down)” is a country song written by Peggy Forman and recorded by George Strait. It was released in 1983 as the second single from his album Right or Wrong. The song tells the story of a man who has been working hard for 15 years to build a successful life for himself. He has a good job, a nice house, and a loving family. However, he is starting to feel like he is missing out on something. He is tired of the rat race and he is starting to wonder if there is more to life than just work.

One night, the man goes out for a drink and he meets a woman who changes his life. She is beautiful, intelligent, and she makes him feel alive. The man starts to spend more and more time with the woman and he begins to neglect his work. His boss starts to notice and he threatens to fire the man if he doesn’t get his act together.

The man is faced with a choice: he can either keep working hard and stay on the path that he is on, or he can take a risk and follow his heart. In the end, the man chooses to follow his heart and he leaves his job to be with the woman.

The song is a reminder that it is never too late to change your life. If you are unhappy with the way things are going, don’t be afraid to make a change. It may be scary, but it could be the best decision you ever make.

Lyric

Fifteen years togetherWe climbed by work and willFrom a simple two room cottageTo a mansion on the hillNow there’s rose in the gardenBut it’s the coldest place in townIt took fifteen years, goin’ upAnd one night coming down
Fifteen years of heavenFor one short night of sinFrom blue skies foreverTo an endFrom out on a mountainTo both knees on the groundFifteen years, goin’ upAnd one night coming down
Her dreams have all been shatteredHer faith in my is goneMy tears tell her I’m sorryBut they can’t write my wrongOne night wrote my storyHow a man can lose it allAfter fifteen years goin’ upIt’s hard to take a fall
Fifteen years of heavenFor one short night of sinFrom blue skies foreverTo an endFrom out on a mountainTo both knees on the groundFifteen years, goin’ upAnd one night coming down
I’ve been, fifteen years goin’ upAnd one night comin down
