Walking The Fine Line Lyrics
I lost my job in the darkest place
I'm going to get back up
I'm gonna clean my face
And take that longest ride
I talked to the man with the busy pen
I'm tired of being on the losing end
I'm going to walk with pride
Walking that fine line
Between the sun and the sky
The smoke and the steel you and me
Taking the longest ride
Crack the sky
But get out alive this time
Me and my friend we been up all night
Had a drink on John, had a drink on the mine
Now we'll leave this ghost town
She said, 'Show me a good man
I'll show you a slave
Show me a free man
I'll show you the brave'
Hold your head up high
Never had the guts to turn it around
Never had the guts to tear it down
Now we got the chance to
We're walking that fine line
Between a free man and a slave
The wind and the sea you and me
Taking that longest ride
Crack the sky
Get out alive this time
Walking that fine line...
I'm going to get back up
I'm gonna clean my face
And take that longest ride
I talked to the man with the busy pen
I'm tired of being on the losing end
Walking that fine line
Between the sun and the sky
The smoke and the steel you and me
Taking the longest ride
Crack the sky
But get out alive this time
Had a drink on John, had a drink on the mine
Now we'll leave this ghost town
I'll show you a slave
Show me a free man
I'll show you the brave'
Hold your head up high
Never had the guts to tear it down
Now we got the chance to
Between a free man and a slave
The wind and the sea you and me
Taking that longest ride
Crack the sky
Get out alive this time

this is a hard one to comment on in a public forum. I guess if you knew me long it is about my balance between my 'careers' the smoke and the steel. and of course other struggles.
and it's 'show me a free man and I'll show you the Grave'
