Bottoming Out Lyrics
I'm cruising fast on a motorcycle down this winding country road
And I pass the gravel on the foot of the hill
Where last week I fell off
There's still some oil by the old elm tree
And a dead squirrel that I hit
But if I hadn't left, I would've struck you dead
So I took a ride instead
Bottoming out, bottoming out, I'm bottoming out, bottoming out
My doctor says, she hopes I know, how lucky I can be
After all it wasn't my blood, mixed in the dirt that night
And we must really examine this
And I say I need another drink
Bottoming out, ...
I'm tearing down Rt. 80 East, the sun's on my right side
I'm drunk, but my vision's good and I think of my child bride
I aim that bike at the fat pothole beyond that underpass
Bottoming out, ...
And I pass the gravel on the foot of the hill
Where last week I fell off
There's still some oil by the old elm tree
And a dead squirrel that I hit
But if I hadn't left, I would've struck you dead
So I took a ride instead
After all it wasn't my blood, mixed in the dirt that night
And we must really examine this
And I say I need another drink
I'm drunk, but my vision's good and I think of my child bride
I aim that bike at the fat pothole beyond that underpass
I think is about a guy who was drunk and driving his motorcycle and crashes, he survives but his bride doesn't so the very next week he passes by the crash place and starts singing this song as he approaches a cliff or something, decided to commit suicide
