Tightrope Lyrics


Life's a tightrope,
and your standing on one toe,
Don't let the fear take hold of you,
your bound to fall to the ground below,
Pick yourself up again,
over the edge again,
Hold on to your hopes and dreams,
When all seems to be lost,
don't start to count the costs,
just go and begin again,
tight rope walker, tight rope walker,
[Chorus:] The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
just go,
keep on rowing on,
And the only thing that's certain is that sometimes your bound to fall,
just go keep on going on,

When all you work for,
comes tumbling to the ground,
don't let the sadness fill your heart,
tomorrow may be a better day,
lift your head up again,
you know you'll start again,
no matter what may come of it,
You know there's more to life,
I'm sure that you'll survive,
You know what you have to do,
tight rope walker, tight rope walker,
[Chorus:] The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
just go,
keep on rowing on,
And the only thing that's certain is that sometimes your bound to fall,
just go keep on going on,
Who knows, who knows, who knows what may come tomorrow,
who knows, who knows, who knows, what tomorrow may bring,
Who knows, who knows, who knows what may come tomorrow,
who knows, who knows, who knows, what tomorrow may bring,
The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
just go,
keep on rowing on,
And the only thing that's certain is that sometimes your bound to fall,
just go keep on going on [x2]

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Where should I start…these stories, my music, it comes from all the places I’ve been, the people I’ve been blessed to play music along side, the way it feels to play my guitar until it bleeds or to bang on that old piano in my living room until my shoulders ache and my fingers won’t move anymore. From Georgia to New York, New York to the road; Charleston and Memphis, Vermont to Chicago. Turned 21, then 22…released my first record with The District…Maine and Boston and who knows where else…made love in the grass and meant it…walked down Wilshire, blinking in the Los Angeles sun… got lost in Delaware scrambling to get home to my family after too much time…swam in the ocean with the boys, thanking God for purple and orange Florida sunrises. Soaked up New Orleans…tried to become Levon Helm; realized I wasn’t much of a drummer……turned 23. Wrote A Drop In The Ocean with Zach Berkman and then put it away for six months because I didn’t get it…fell in love…drank whiskey from the bottle and howled at the moon…released Last Call…played the blues back-to-back with Buz in Charlotte and just about everywhere else along that godforsaken highway…the van broke down…we fixed it…the van broke down again. Got lost heading to South Carolina and ended up in Alabama…fell out of love and hit my head on the way towards the bottom…turned 24…made a Christmas album, because, damn it, I like Christmas albums. Played big rooms…played small rooms …listened to Van Morrison and cried…listened to trains scream somewhere off in the distance on ink-black sleepless nights… I traced the outline of a woman’s face on a piece of paper; someone I loved and didn’t want to forget once we’d put the whole thing to bed. The picture didn’t turn out the way I’d hoped, so I took my ink-stained fingers and spelled her name out in big, smeared letters on my arm. I guess that’s all I’ve ever really had…my words. This music is the story of where I’ve been, who I am, and where I’m going…these songs are my life.
