Free Fall

Free Fall - Montgomery Gentry

I slept straight through to eight a m

That same old lame alarm clock excuse

Just ain't gonna work again

I light a Marlboro for breakfast

On my way out the door

That's the third day this month

I had one 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 dig in this hole for my dignity

I think I finally come to understand working

For the man ain't working for me

I can only take so much

My only way 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
