You walked the line all your life. You never thought you'd have to change it. You're always there to give advice. You never thought you'd have to take it.
I heard the music long ago, songs that rent the air. Fading in and out at night while I was lying there. Voices soft and lonely and later rock and roll.
Well, the crop's all in and the work's all done. Gonna clean up the barn and have a lot of fun. Throw salt on the floor, sweep it all around. Do the boogie to the salty sound.
My daddy taught me that in this country everyone's the same. You work hard for your dollar and you never pass the blame. When it don't go your way. . Now I see all these big shots whinin' on my evening news.
I wonder if Im too young for this. is this my only chance to hit or miss?. Contemplating complicated situationsI may regret?. She steps into the lightI stop and stare..

Girl, I hate me for how I hurt you. 'Cause that ain't no way to love a woman. I used up your heart and all your forgiveness. I tore you apart and now you're down.
She took my love,. She wore it down. And it looked good all over town. But ill be ok. . She shot me at sunrise right between the eyes. She shot me at sunrise right between the eyes.
Midnight drive down on Jewella Rd.. Methamphetamines and carryin a lonely load. Roaches in the ashes, truck jamming "Limelight". Look like it's gonna be just me and Geddy Lee tonight.
You've been there all the time. right in front of my eyes. but I didn't see you. . And now, I shake like a leaf. now, I can't seem to speak. whenever you're near me.
Lyin' on our backs. we've stared at the stars. tryin' to count them. or guess how far. I still remember. the way that it felt. the night we hung our dreams out on O'Rien's belt.
Me and Billy Joe and Mary Beth. Were raised up on the path of righteousness. Made a solemn vow that we'd always be close. And never wander far from Sawmill Road.
I'm fallin' for a small town southern girl. She's got me goin' where I told myself I'd never go. Oh, I really oughta play it cool. Or maybe I'm just loves fool.
I see so many people. As I walk these cities and these towns. Some souls truly shining. Some worn down to the ground. . And I see people chasing dreams.
I know who makes my shoes. Yeah I know who makes my shoes. You may think this information. Something you can't use. But I know who makes my shoes. . And I know who grows my food.
Everyday I look up to the sky. World so bright since the time you arrived. Never felt like this before. Grounds not solid anywhere now. Wonder what's outside my door.
Get the laundry off the line. Tape the cracks in the windows. Lock the doors shut the lights. Stamp out all the mirrors. . This is gonna hurt. This is gonna hurt.
Kick down the walls. Turn back the clock. Put down the keys. Change the locks. Cause looks like theres something more than rain coming down tonight. .
