Robbie Fulks - Where I Fell lyrics

rate me

Daddy used to catch his supper in this river

Now you can’t swim it

Smells like a 20 ton truck full of paint thinner sank down in it

Come visit a spell, see the plaque to our war fallen

Nothing but a good time

Some guy in Bombay is running that press I used to hate

Now I sling hash for water spills off the interstate

We sold the family store, left the building standing

You can see the outline were I fell, I look like hell

From a jet airplane or the top of some big hotel

I’d of chose a place more fine but the choice was never mine

And so I dwell where I fell

Skinny hip jean with the long, black lashes and a kid of ten

Comes by for some TV and leg it down with me every now and again

She’s a good old girl, I should’ve let her walk in

But timing never were right

And it’s the same sad crew at Delilah shouting over the redneck band

Game score, tea party, world war, I don’t give a good goddamn

That’s me crossing the courthouse lone about midnight

Tripping at the curb sign where I fell, I look like hell

From a jet airplane or the top of some big hotel

I’d of chose a place more fine but the choice was never mine

And so I dwell where I fell

I just dwell where I fell
