Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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
