Straight Line lyrics
by The Northern Pikes
There is a straight line from the womb to the grave
There is a roadmap from the B to the A
Someone to respect is so very hard to find
Along the highway I walk the straight line
Flesh and blood and hope
On the thin end of the rope
Love and truth and muscle and bones
On the shoulder throwing stones
Now we're older and still old
Winter still becomes so cold - so cold
She stood beside me in a room
Where you do what you always wanted to
We walked like lovers into the hole in the roof
High wind blowin' on in
We wait for the rain
High day strummin' my highway
On the wheels of a slow movin' train
How long must I wait, how many days
How long will this take
I'm in a hurry and I must be movin' on
I've got a pistol in my pocket
It's loaded and ready to shoot
I've got a spoon full of these bullets
My God what a wonderful day
When your anger overwhelms you
And you just can't hold it back
Hit hard - hit with feeling
