I can't walk a line and I damn sure ain't gonna crawl
I think I finally come to understand working for the man ain't working for me
When you hit rock bottom and the bottom drops out
I light a Marlboro for breakfast, on my way out the door
When you hit rock bottom and the bottom drops out
How's a man supposed to stand tall
I can't walk a line and I damn sure ain't gonna crawl
I can only take so much, my only way is up
Well, the high life ain't my life
From a free fall when you're back's against the wall
And judging from the past, it won't be the last
Well, the high life ain't my life
It's a free fall when your back's against the wall
When you hit rock bottom and the bottom drops out
Just living in a free fall
Just living in a free fall
Well, the high life ain't my life
But I dig in this hole for my dignity
Right about now I can think of a thousand things, I'm rather do instead
Living in a free fall
That's the third day this month I had one too many the night before
How's a man supposed to stand tall
With a shovel in my hand and a hammer in my head
I can't walk a line and I damn sure ain't gonna crawl
It's a free fall when your back's against the wall
How's a man supposed to stand tall
