I slept straight through to eight a.m.

That same old lame alarm clock excuse just ain't gonna work again

Well, I had a Marlboro for breakfast on the way out the door

That's the third day this month I had too many the night before

And judging from the past

It won't be the last



It's a free fall

When your back's against the wall

When you hit rock bottom and the bottom drops out

How's a man supposed to stand tall

Well the high life ain't my life

I can't walk a line and I damn sure ain't gonna crawl

Just living in a free fall



With a shovel in my hand and a hammer in my head

Right about now I can think of a thousand things I'd rather do instead

But I'm digging this hole for my dignity

I think I've finally come to understand workin' for the Man ain't workin' for me

I can only take so much

My only way to go is up



From a free fall

When your back's against the wall

When you hit rock bottom and the bottom drops out

How's a man supposed to stand tall

Well the high life ain't my life

I can't walk a line and I damn sure ain't gonna crawl

Living in a free fall



It's a free fall

When your back's against the wall

When you hit rock bottom and the bottom drops out

How's a man supposed to stand tall

Well the high life ain't my life

I can't walk a line and I damn sure ain't gonna crawl

Just living in a free fall

Free fall
