Someone left a child and did not even care
Before the first shots of the battle here had even pierced the air
Yes, they run now like them children to those arms of mother earth
Trying to pretend as if there was a day before their very birth
But me, I just grab these ropes that me and mine have left behind
And I stare up to that mountain that I know I got to climb
I keep towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mm-mmmm
I keep towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mmmm
Well down in basements choked with smoke child of the past
All them dreams come up for air round here but they can only gasp
All them old men they sit staring as life slips out from their grips
Only to fall and disappear beyond their cracked old fingertips
But me, I just grab these ropes me and mine have left behind
And I stare up to that daemon that I know has got to die
I keep towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mm-mmmm
I keep towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mmmm
Solo
I keep towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mm-mmmm
I keep towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mmmm
But down in ditches by that road I call my own
All of you come up cussin' now and all just throwing stones
Yes they're big men now to settle down and life's so stale and cold
As if I could ever do the way they do just as they're told
So if you should find me living low when the miles have passed me by
And it seems that I have left now all that I could love behind
I'm just towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mm-mmmm
I'm just towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mmmm
I'm just towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mm-mmmm
I'm just towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mmmm
I'm a big fan of accurate, legible, and neatly formatted charts that are
typically true to studio versions, with noted exceptions.
