We walk the front lines We defend our country with our lives We pretend to see truth in all these lies But we were men 'Cause in the end we were men We were men Woke up screaming in bed The silence taunts me It's like I am there again

Have a drink on me So don't worry about tomorrow Take it today Forget about the check We'll get hell to pay Have a drink on me (on me) Whiskey, gin and brandy With a glass I'm pretty handy I'm trying to walk a straight line

I stayed in Mississippi a day too long There's only one thing that I did wrong Was stayed in Mississippi a day too long Every step of the way We walk the line Your days are numbered So are mine Time is piling up We struggle and we scrape

I've been baptized By the fire in your touch And the flame in your eyes I'm born to love again I'm a brand new man Well the whole town's talking 'Bout the line I'm walking That leads right to your door

I swear you'll stay to maintain the pain I put a bullet in my radio Something just hit me funny I don't know Just pulled the trigger going down the road You slammed the door and knocked me off the wire Been walking lines and you've been burning tires

When the future's so unsure When the future's so unclear We walk, we walk on I am trying to learn and I’m dying to know When to move on and when to let it go A curious feeling no one can explain And I just don’t know if I’ll risk it again

I wanna thank the band, whoever they Were for playing our song And all the stars up there for getting in line And shining down on That boardwalk you and I strolled down Light's dancing on the water from the merry-go-round We made a lot of memories, ain't

I wanna thank the band, whoever they Were for playing our song And all the stars up there for getting in line And shining down on That boardwalk you and I strolled down Light's dancing on the water from the merry-go-round We made a lot of memories, ain't

But tonight I'm gonna give in one last time Rock you strong in these arms of mine Forget all the regrets that are bound to follow We're like fire and gasoline We only bring each other tears and sorrow I'm gonna let you go and walk away Like every day I

This is not the world we had in mind But we got time We are stuck on it so we can thrive But we can turn it And even though we might have lost tonight The skyline reminds us of a different time Take me back Back to the mountainside
