Sometimes the Line Walks You

歌詞

I've taken a hit or two I've given quite a few I swing my fists and the cities all fall I've broken a law or two Reckon I only missed a few I watch these long days pass Through the bars I curse the brass I've had a cracked rib or two I guess I've busted more I've laid a couple out on the coolin' board Sometimes you walk the line And sometimes it walks you You get quick to anger Quick to put a knife up To another man's throat I cannot still The hell that's in these hands When they came to take me in Didn't try to fight just let them win A man died in my cell Damn the guards sure gave me hell I'd love to see them horsemen ride So law and order stand aside Oh this woman and gin, woman and gin Go together like the devil and sin Her hair is like wheat Her lips are like wine Gonna meet her at the end Of the county line Jailbreak, jailbreak tonight Bring on the floodlights! In a few more yards we'll reach the line And meet up with the friend of mine The dogs are comin' swift and mean But I'm hungrier than they have ever been Jailbreak, jailbreak tonight Bring on the floodlights!
