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
