Single and album versions

Three versions of "Fallin' Again" exist: * The full-length version, included exclusively on CD and digital pressings of '' Just Us'', which clocks at 7:42 and closes with a jam session that lasts over three minutes before ending with Owen saying "We quit, man". * A much shorter version, included on LP and cassette pressings of the album, runs at 3:58. Half of the intro is excised; the line "I fall in and again" is deleted from each refrain; one bar of the first bridge is deleted; and a fade-out a few seconds after the final refrain. This version appears on many of the band's compilation albums, including '' Greatest Hits Vol. II'' and '' For the Record''. * The single version, which runs at 3:33 and edited differently from the full-length version (with the exception of the fade-out after the final refrain), omits the first instrumental passage and bridge. This version is available on the 1996 Time-Life ''Legendary Country Singers'' compilation. "Fallin' Again" is the most heavily edited single release in Alabama's catalog.
