Fine Line
There's a curve in the highway just south of town
Where a man has pulled over to figure life out
With only his conscience and the lonesome sound
Of diesels windin' up the grade
He's got a wife and two kids, they love him so
And a woman down in Georgia, she startin' to show
He's damned if he leaves and he' sure damned if he don't
And he wonders how life got this way
'Cause it's a fine line in between right and wrong
Yeah, he's been crossing over that border way too long
He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart
Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing
Like the pull of a lover or a child in a swing
He gave his heart to two women, only one wears his ring
They're both gonna have his babies now
So how do you confess what words won't explain
He never intended to cause this much pain
Now he feels like a farmer who went prayin' for rain
And got that he bargained from the clouds
And it's a fine line in between right and wrong
Yeah, he's been crossing over that border way too long
He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart
He'll turn his care around tonight
Go home and try to face the truth
Everyone involed's gettin' hurt
And there aint nothin' he can do
(Guitar solo)
He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start
Now there ain't no escape, now there ain't no escape
From:
A fine line in between right and wrong
Yeah, he's been crossing over that border way too long
He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart
Yeah they're all gonna wind up with a broken heart
Nobody's getting' out without a broken heart
We recommend: The Flame

Available on the album Blue Moves
Tonight
Do we have to fight again
Tonight
I just want to go to sleep
Turn out the light
But you want to carry grudges
Nine times out of ten
I see the storm approaching
Long before the rain starts falling
Tonight
Does it have to be the old thing
Tonight
It's late, too late
To chase the rainbow that you're after
I'd like to find a compromise
And place it in your hands
My eyes are blind, my ears can't hear
And I cannot find the time
Tonight
