End Of The Line

And now the gravity of trouble was more than I could bear
At times my luck was so bad, I had to fold my hands
I almost lost my soul, rarely I could find my head
Wake up early in the morning, feeling nearly dead

I was never afraid of danger, I took trouble on the chin
Mountains I have climbed, that have killed a thousand men
Spent most of my lifetime downtown, sleepin' behind the wheel
I never needed anybody, I was king of the hill

Oh, when I think about the old days
Lord, it sends chills up and down my spine
Yeah, life ain't what it seems, on the boulevard of broken dreams
Guess I opened my eyes in the nick of time
'Cause it sure felt like the end of the line

No matter how hard I run, I just can't get away
I try to do my best, but the devil gets in my way
Spent most of my lifetime downtown, sleepin' behind the wheel
'Til it all came down to kill or be killed

Oh, when I think about the old days
Lord, it sends chills up and down my spine
Yeah, life ain't what it seems, on the boulevard of broken dreams
Guess I opened my eyes in the nick of time
It sure felt like the end of the line

Sure felt like the end of the line
Just like the end of the line
Of the line
