There's shattered glass on the rocks by the riverbed Where I used to go to try and clear my head That's where I found that life is just a game And that's where I heard the night first call my name It's a hard line I'll be walking till the end of time It's a hard line my friend It's a hard line harder than you know It's a hard line my friend The man I am today is not the man I've been I'm never going back to learn those lessons again I won't be a face in the crowd that got left behind Looking for something I'm never going to find It's a hard line I'll be walking till the end of time It's a hard line my friend It's a hard line harder than you know It's a hard line my friend You chose your path my friend I chose mine And maybe we'll meet again at the end of the line All I've ever got is plenty of hard time Cause this life I chose is a hard, hard line It's a hard line I'll be walking till the end of time It's a hard line my friend It's a hard line harder than you know It's a hard line my friend
