Afterglow - Bottom

Story behind the song
Ang-
Actually, it's a true story. The person I least expected to lose their job did awhile back and it was so shocking. Fortunately, they of course are fine now. Anyway, the whole idea got slightly warped and I had to imagine if it had happened to me because in some ways I didn't know how they would feel or act. Now, though the lyrics are feeling outdated because it was so long ago and now I get this weird country feel from it and its like ahhh! no! It's ok I can always pick up some boots, it'll be fun, right?
Lyrics
I’ve had a rough time the past few days, I’ve lost my job
My family thinks I’m the greatest, what happens now?
So I’ll call them up so I can tell the news
No more favors, no more gifts for nephews
Now, I’m the bottom from the top and we’ll see
I go out another night and see my friends
They tell me don’t worry coz God’s got plans
So I sit back and take a drink and laugh out loud
I want control of my life in this scary town
Now, I’m the bottom from the top and we’ll see
I go home and lay back on my bed
If only I could open my eyes to see my old life instead
Now, I’m the bottom from the top and we’ll see
