"Where I Fell" lyrics - ROBBIE FULKS

Daddy used to catch his supper in this river, now you can't swim it
Smells like a twenty-ton truck full of paint thinner sank down in it
Come visit a spell, see the plaque to our war fallen
Nothin' but a good time

Some guy in Bombay's runnin' that press I used to hate
Now I sling hash for what all spills off the interstate
We sold the family store, left the building standing
You can see the outline

[Chorus:]
Where I fell
Might look like hell
From a jet airplane or the top of some big hotel
I'd've chose a place more fine
But the choice was never mine
So I dwell
Where I fell

Skinny-hipped Jane with her long black lashes and a kid of ten Comes by for some TV and to leg it down with me every now and again
She's a good old girl I shoulda long sent walkin'
The timing never worked right

And it's the same sad crew at Delilah's shoutin' over the redneck band
Game score, tea party, world war, I don't give a good goddamn That's me crossin' the courthouse lawn about midnight
Trippin' at the curbside

[Chorus:]
Where I fell
Might look like hell
From a jet airplane or the top of some big hotel
I'd've chose a place more fine
But the choice was never mine
So I dwell
Where I fell
I just dwell
Where I fell
