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 
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
