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
