Hard Liner

Hard liner, she brings ice when I bring fire

She's a hard liner, tightrope cross Niagara

She'd cut the wire, never feel a thing

Walked the sidewalk of another strange avenue

Kicked my heels and wished my feet were in some other shoes

But I'm not running from that hard liner

Well, she brings ice when I bring fire

She's a real hard liner, how does she retain my heart's desire?

It's a funny thing, knows what she wants, knows how to get it, too

Scares me with cold logic, scares me with the witch's brew

But I keep on drinking, hard liner, oh

Hard liner, I'm framed and I'm hanging on the wall

She's a hard liner, I'm like some big game trophy hat stand in the hall

But I remember warm and loving nights

Her red hair, restaurants, swaying bust, headlights, it's a funny thing

Hard liner, yeah, she brings ice when I bring fire

Hard liner, tightrope 'cross Niagara, don't cut my wire

Hard liner, hard, hard liner, well, she brings sun when I bring rain

And she's a real hard liner, yeah, we've got it all crossed up again

Hard liner, hard liner, now I don't think we can stay in the same town
