Words and music by bob seger |
|
Saw you walkin' on a backstreet honey |
|
Tryin' to slip away |
|
Did you find someone to take your money |
|
And did it make your day |
|
Take a lesson from someone who's been there |
|
There are lots of roads that lead you nowhere |
|
I can see it in your blank stare baby |
|
Someone's done you in |
|
Everybody hits the hard truth some time |
|
It's your time again |
|
So you're lonesome and the night's approachin' |
|
Honey this is where the tough get goin' |
|
Welcome to the tightrope |
|
Between memory and pain |
|
Welcome to the tightrope |
|
Between the freedom and the chain |
|
Welcome to the tightrope |
|
Stretched high above the street |
|
Welcome to the tightrope |
|
It's right beneath your feet |
|
Once you learn to balance truth and sorrow |
|
You can worry about the rest tomorrow |
|
Up there on the tightrope |
|
Oh it's a tightrope |
|
You're walkin' on a tightrope |
