I see you standin' there on the line, walking tall but you ain't got no good word to say tonight, and you tell me one more time
And you know I heard the news, when you said you got the blues and you aint got no way to choose - save it for a rainy day
I ain't trying to lie, but Im'a find the way to why or im'a cut the wire - your life ain't so hard... And I know that you won't fly, but I'll tell you baby step up now and toe the line
HOLD THE LINE
I ain't wasting no more precious time
And there you go, like a flume of smoke you fly away and out of sight like the world revolves around you
And you got nothing! Nothing but lies today - Cause you don't have a move and you don't have a shake.
The world's gon' turn and leave you there all alone, I told you once and you're still behind. You're never right on time
I don't know why you fall so hard, step up hard and TOE THIS LINE
HOLD THE LINE
I ain't wasting no more precious time
There you go riding so small on that high horse. Here I stand, looking at your eyes rolled
(Sometimes, I find that my heart and mind are often at odds with one another)
(Hold the line, Boy)
There you go, throwing side eye on your high horse. Here I am, looking at you eyes rolled
(And I know, and I know)
(Hold the line, Boy)
There you go, ridin so small on that high horse and I... HOLD THE LINE
(And I know, and I know, I'm Fine)
(Hold the line)
HOLD THE LINE
I ain't wasting no more precious time
HOLD THE LINE
