Tightrope

Tightrope - Stevie Ray Vaugn

Caught up in a whirlwind can't catch my breath

Knee deep in hot water broke out in cold sweat

Can't catch a turtle in this rat race

Feels like I'm losing at a breakneck pace

Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace

Heart full of darkness spotlight on my face

There was love all around me but I was looking for revenge

Thank god it never found me would have been the end

Walkin' the tight rope stepping on my friends

Walkin' the tight rope was a shame and a sin

Walkin' the tight rope between wrong and right

Walkin' the tight rope both day and night

Lookin' back in front of me in the mirror's grin

Through eyes of love I see I'm really looking at a friend

We've had all our problems that's the way life is

My heart goes out to others who are there to make amends

Walkin' the tightrope trying to make it right

Walkin' the tight rope every day and every night

Walkin' the tight rope bring it all around

Walkin' the tight rope from the lost to found

Walkin' the tight rope trying to make it right

Walkin' the tight rope every day and every night

Walkin' the tight rope streched around the world

Walkin' the tight rope save the boys and girls

Walkin' the tight rope
