Bruce Springsteen wrote 'If I Should Fall Behind' as a love song dedicated to
his wife, Patti Scialfa, whom he married in 1991. He considers it one of his
best songs about the dedication and commitment that come with love.
The original recording by Bruce is not suitable for a Line Dance but this
arrangement by Irish singer P.J. Murrihy and Scottish singer Isla Grant
is ideal for a Line Dance Waltz.....
