Each of us was humming to a
Was slick and shiny as a snake
Take it all, take it easy till it's over
And running like the devil just in time
Taking any comfort you can find
Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Take it all, take it easy till it's over
And leavin' every yesterday behind
Running like you're running out of time
Understanding when you're headin' for the Border Lord
Good lookin' women every time you stumble
Your back's against the wall
Waitin' there to catch you where you fall
Is burning down before you're off
You're bound to cross the line
Half forgotten echo hangin' over in the brain
Tappin' time and thinking of the time
Learning every bridge you cross
Keep you backin' up till just before
Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard
We never had the time to take
Black as I was feeling and the street
Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Understanding when you're headin' for the Border Lord
Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time
Gettin' to you bad enough to let 'em
Takin' any comfort you can find
