Sometimes the Line Walks You Lyrics

I've taken a hit or two
I've given quite a few
I swing my firsts and the cities all fallI've broken a law
I reckon I only missed a few
I watch these long days pass through the bars
I curse the brassI've had a cracked rib or two
I guess I've busted more
I've laid a couple out on the coolin' boardSometimes you walk the line
And sometimes it walks you
You get quick to anger
Quick to put a knife up to another man's throat
I cannot still the hell that's in these handsWhen they came to take me
I didn't fight just let them win
A man died in my cell
Damn the guards sure gave me hell
I'd love to see them horsemen ride
So law and order stand asideOh this woman and gin, woman and gin
Go together like the devil and sin

Her legs are like wheat her lips are like wine
Gonna meet her at the end of the county lineJAILBREAK
JAILBREAK
Tonight bring on the floodlightsBoys! (Yeah!) Fetch the shovel!
Boys! (Yeah!) Post the lookout!
Coppers! You'll never catch us! (That's right!)
Ladies, we're coming home tonite!Cause in a few more yards we'll reach the line
And meet up with a friend of mine
The dogs are comin' swift and mean
But I'm hungrier than they have ever beenJAILBREAK
JAILBREAK
Tonight bring on the floodlights
