Robbie Fulks - Where I Fell lyrics

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
