End of the Line

And now the gravity of the trouble … was more than I could bear

At times my luck was so bad … I had to fold my hands

Almost lost my soul … rarely I could find my head

Wake up early in the mornin’ … feelin’ nearly dead

I was never afraid of danger … 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

Ohhh … when I think about the old days

Lord, it sends chills up and down my spine

Hey 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

'Till it all came down … to kill or be killed

Ohhh … when I think about the old days

Lord, it sends chills up and down my spine

Hey 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

Felt like the end … of the line

Yes it did … of the line

Felt like the end … of the line
