Damn, I slept straight through til 8 AM That same old lame alarm 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 I'd just like to know how far down a man can go 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 the line and I damn sure ain't gonna crawl Just livin' 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 diggin' this hold 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 the line and I damn sure ain't gonna crawl Livin' in a free fall It's a free fall when your back's against the wall 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 the line and I damn sure ain't gonna crawl Livin' in a free fall Free fall
