"Would You Catch a Falling Star" is a song written by Bobby Braddock, and recorded by American country music artist John Anderson.
[1] The song was covered by Del McCoury and Sierra Hull on the 2022 John Anderson tribute album Something Borrowed, Something New.
"Would You Catch a Falling Star" is a tongue in cheek look at the pitfalls of stardom and fame, describing a one-time superstar whose drawing power and appeal to fans is fading.
The song opens with the former superstar finishing a country music show attended by a small crowd.
The second verse tells of his former wealth and fame and his descent back into obscurity, trading a large bus for a small van.
