These folks running like a fever in the night
While I'm chasing down the ghost of a fading tail light
They said the border was a thousand miles away
And I'd be begging for the mercy of a shoulder kind of day
But I've got a rhythm in the marrow of my knee
A stubborn kind of music that the world won't let me be
My pockets are as empty as a dry and dusty well
But I'm carrying a spirit that they couldn't buy or sell
Oh, I'm gonna walk that line
Till the damn thing breaks
I'm putting all I am
On the table for the stakes
One stubborn step after another in the dirt
Finding out the value and the power of the hurt
You can stretch the wire thin, you can sharpen every edge
But I'm a heavy hammer and I'm the iron wedge
Yeah, I'm moving forward till the world gives first
Giving everything I've got to this beautiful thirst
I've seen the high flyers fall like a leaden bird
While the quiet man's struggle is the only thing that's heard
They wanna see me stumble, they wanna see me fold
To trade my golden moments for a glimmer of the gold
But I've got the patience of the lions on the pad
And I'm the only captain of this long and crooked land
The horizon is a target and the sky is just a floor
And I'm just getting started in this lonesome kind of war
I'm gonna walk that line
Till the damn thing breaks
I'm putting all I am
On the table for the stakes
One stubborn step after another in the dirt
Finding out the value and the power of the hurt
You can stretch the wire thin, you can sharpen every edge
But I'm a heavy hammer and I'm the iron wedge
Yeah, I'm moving forward till the world gives first
Giving everything I've got to this beautiful thirst
It's bending
It's shaking
You can't stop the soul
When the world is finally breaking
And I'm still walking
Yeah, I'm gonna walk that line
Till the damn thing breaks
I'm putting all I am
On the table for the stakes
One stubborn step after another in the dirt
Finding out the value and the power of the hurt
You can stretch the wire thin, you can sharpen every edge
But I'm a heavy hammer and I'm the iron wedge
Yeah, I'm moving forward till the world gives first
Giving everything I've got to this beautiful thirst
The line is snapping
I'm still here
On the better line
