Biography:
Robbie Fulks is an alt country artist originally from Raleigh, North Carolina but is a longtime Chicago, Illinois resident. He has been active for many years and is still recording and performing music. Fulks is known for his disdain of mainstream modern country and the country music industry, as exemplified by his scorching rebuke of Nashville titled "Fuck This Town." His live performances feature improvised rearrangments of his original songs, off-the-cuff musical humor, and covers of songs by Michael Jackson and Cher, among others.

Daddy used to catch his supper in this river
Asus
Now you can't swim it
Asus
Smells like a 20 ton truck full of paint thinner sank down in it
Asus D
Come visit a spell, see the plaque to our war fallen
Asus
Nothing but a good time
[Verse 2]
Asus
Some guy in Bombay is running that press I used to hate
Asus
Now I sling hash for what all spills off the interstate
Asus D
We sold the family store, left the building standing
[Chorus]
Asus Em Asus
You can see the outline were I fell, I look like hell
Em Asus
From a jet airplane or the top of some big hotel
Asus D Asus
Could've chose a place more fine but the choice was never mine
Em Asus
And so I dwell where I fell

Asus
Skinny hip Jean with the long, black lashes and a kid of ten
Asus
Comes by for some TV and leg it down with me every now and again
Asus D
She's a good old girl, I should've let her walk in
Asus
But timing never worked right
[Verse 4]
Asus
And it's the same sad crew at Delilah's shouting over the redneck band
Asus
Game score, tea party, world war, I don't give a good goddamn
Asus D
That's me crossing the courthouse lone about midnight
[Chorus]
Asus Em Asus
Tripping at the curb sign where I fell, I look like hell
Em Asus
From a jet airplane or the top of some big hotel
Asus D Asus
Could've chose a place more fine but the choice was never mine
Em Asus
And so I dwell where I fell
Em Asus
I just dwell where I fell
