Middle of the Line
Lee/West
INTRO: D G
[G]I was not a bad kid, I just had more energy than [C]most
I [D]often found myself at the end of my daddy's belt
Always [C]runnin' 'til I [D]ran right out of [G]rope
Yeah I gave my folks some gray hair back in my young hard-headed [C]days
And I [D]may be a little older now
But I'm a hundred proof that [C]some things never [G]change
CHORUS:
'Cause I don't [G]live my life a-walkin' no line
I'm a little bit left and a little bit right and [D]wrong some
I do it my way but the price I pay for livin' the life on the edge is [G]lonesome
Some hearts are broke 'cause I couldn't follow that narrow path no matter how I [Em]tried
I [F]just can't keep both [D]feet in the middle of the [G]line
INTRO
When I tied the not in Tulsa, I was hardly old enough to shave
I tried to settle down, but Lord it came unwound
She was a good girl, I just couldn't live that way
Sometimes I think about her and the way it could have been
If I'd only been the kind who could just be satisfied
[C]Goin' down a [D]road that never [G]bends
CHORUS (2x)
I [F]just can't keep both [D]feet in the middle of the line
INTRO out
