Down To The Wire Lyrics - Poco

Have you heard about the ones who can't get to sleep at night 

Walking through their shoes in the neon light 

There's a strain in their faces from the wind and the sand 

Of the far away places where they had to make a stand 

On their way down, on their way down, on their way down, down to the wire 

They were talking in the news, of a run about to be made 

It would come when they cut it loose, from the plan they lay 

On some future night, when the talk is low 

They agree it's right and Lord it's time to go 

On their way down, on their way down, on their way down, down to the wire 

(Solo) 

Deep in the still of night (on their way down) 

They'll be movin' across the line (on their way down) 

On their way down, down to the wire 

On their way down (deep in the still of night) 

On their way down (they'll be movin' across the line) 

On their way down, down to the wire
