Another of my favorite Truckers songs is Gravitys Gone. It was 2006 release om their album, A Blessing and a Curse. Written and sung by Mike Cooley, the lyrics have a dark, haunting reflection of life.

I went stumbling through the fog
Trying to find a reason for the things I told her
She woke up sunny side down
And I was still thinking, I was too proud to flip her over

Between the champagne, hand jobs
And the kissing ass by everyone involved
Cocaine rich comes quick
And that's why the small dicks have it all

So I'll meet you at the bottom, if there really is one
They always told me "When you hit it, you'll know it"
But I've been falling so long, it's like gravity's gone
And I'm just floating

Those little demons ain't the reasons
For the bruises on your soul, you've been neglecting
You'll never lose you're mind
As long as you're heart always reminds you
Where you left it

And don't ever let them make you feel
Like saying what you want is unbecoming
If you were supposed to watch you're mouth all the time
I doubt you're eyes would be above it

So I'll meet you at the bottom, if there really is one
They always told me "When you hit it, you'll know it"
But I've been falling so long, it's like gravity's gone
And I'm just floating

Between the champagne, hand jobs
And the kissing ass by everyone involved
What used to be is gone
And what ought to be, ought not to be so hard

So I'll meet you at the bottom, if there really is one
They always told me "When you hit it, you'll know it"
But I've been falling so long, it's like gravity's gone
And I'm just floating

I've been falling so long, it's like gravity's gone
And I'm just floating
I've been falling so long, it's like gravity's gone
And I'm just floating
