Long Straight Line

There's a long, straight line between your heart and mine The ties that bind, the ways we find the creases and the folds Cause on this long, dusty road you're the only one to know The rhythm of my soul through the passages of time Cause there's a long, straight line Out on the ridge 'for the sun comes up Say my prayers and fill my cup Plead to sky the light will shine And lead me to that long, straight line Wash my face and stand up tall Roll my shoulders up against the wall Reach down deep and hold on tight And lead me to that long, straight line There will be trouble up ahead But there's no worry in my head There's a long, straight line between your heart and mine The ties that bind, the ways we find the creases and the folds Cause on this long, dusty road you're the only one to know The rhythm of my soul through the passages of time Cause there's a long, straight line Late at night when the west has won Rest my head for my work is done Tired and cold I seek what's right That leads me to that long, straight line There will be trouble up ahead But there's no worry in my head There's a long, straight line between your heart and mine The ties that bind, the ways we find the creases and the folds Cause on this long, dusty road you're the only one to know The rhythm of my soul through the passages of time Cause there's a long, straight line I've been working hard, hard enough to get my fill Breaking my back and taking my chances higher and higher still I've been working hard, hard enough to feed the fire But the flames burn brighter, so much hotter than they ever have before There will be trouble up ahead But there's no worry in my head There's a long, straight line between your heart and mine The ties that bind, the ways we find the creases and the folds Cause on this long, dusty road you're the only one to know The rhythm of my soul through the passages of time Cause there's a long, straight line
