Murder By Death Sometimes The Line Walks You Lyrics

Sometimes The Line Walks You Lyrics

I've taken a hit or two

I've given quite a few

I swing my firsts and the cities all fall



I've broken a law

I 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

I didn't 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 legs are like wheat her lips are like wine

Gonna meet her at the end of the county line



JAILBREAK

JAILBREAK

Tonight bring on the floodlights



Boys! (Yeah!) Fetch the shovel!

Boys! (Yeah!) Post the lookout!

Coppers! You'll never catch us! (That's right!)

Ladies, we're coming home tonite!



Cause in a few more yards we'll reach the line

And meet up with a 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
