When the Bottom Fell Out
VIC CHESNUTT
When the bottom fell out
There wasn't any doubt
I just suddenly found myself free falling
And from such a height
The wind, it had a bite
And it took all my might to fight the fight
The fell in spread-eagled
Must've found an airfoil
Or some kinda wing
And I gained some equilibrium
Caught myself gliding
When the bottom fell out
Observers heard me shout
So long, It's been good to know you
But when I finallly smash
Into that vertin' grass
I will say It's been pretty great going
