Right then, that's when I'll take take you back It's like music To hear you bawling When a freight train jumps off a track And rolls down my road And it's summertime in Texas And they're playing in the snow

We're walking the wire, love We're walking the wire, wire, wire So look out down below Look out down below We're gonna be higher, up And we'll take take what comes, take what comes Feel the wind in your hair Feel the rush way up here Walking the wire, wire,

And never let me down Only one friend to understand One friend, that never goes away People come and people go They take take and they give Build you up, just to let you down That's just the way it is But all I need is One friend, to get me through the day

These are dark times Can you not feel yourself falling deeper? You've given yourself away Mistakes of the past are haunting me And I've given myself away All the walls are coming down I'm exposed, I'm alive This is my chance to breathe All my thoughts

Homesick tired All alone in a big city Why should ev'rybody pity me, Nighttime's falling, folks are a singin', they dance till break of day Dear Old Southland with it's dreamy songs Takes me back there where I belong How I'd love to be in mammy's arms

It must have been a bitch while I was gone I'm sorry to have taken so long You'll reacquaint yourself with my style All this time you put up a fear For a hundred thousand years You mind if I sit down for a while Well, how could you have waited so long

I bless the rains down in Africa There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do Gonna take take some time to do the things we never had It's gonna take take a lot to drag me away from you (I bless the rain) I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears

Ey oh ey oh, when a guy like me Ey oh ey oh, gets a girl like you Yeah, you better know we're going to take take it downtown, Showin' everybody what I'm crazy about. Ey oh ey oh, anywhere we go, ey oh ey oh, gotta let 'em all know. And I'mma tattoo your name

We are, we are, we are It hurts when your denial's exposed We are the truth that hurts the most 'cause But as I get to the end of mine You deny and think everything is fine The time has come to bring you down Take the power back I'll show you how I hear

Fat bottomed girls, you make the rockin' world go 'round Are you gonna let it all hang out? Fat bottomed girls Are you gonna take take me home tonight? Ah, down beside that red firelight You make the rockin' world go 'round Hey I was just a skinny lad Never
