Laying My Life on the Line
Jerry Jeff Walker
[Verse 1]
Layin' my life on the line
That's what I do all the time
I find myself each night
Facin' a white light
Layin' my life on the line
[Verse 2]
Music is my way of life
Sure it gets crazy sometimes
But it takes me places
Where I see the faces
Of people I've touched with my lines
[Verse 3]
Driving the road here tonight
Thoughts were of Malita and I
How her love sustained me
When the road almost claimed me
And laid my life out on the line
[Verse 4]
Sometimes it all feels so good
Sometimes I just feel far from home
Sometimes I wonder
Am I just stumbling through here?
Have been on this road for too long?
[Verse 5]
So here I am out here tonight
Playin' the songs that I like
'Cause the magic in singin'
Comes through when you're bringin'
Your whole life laid on the line
