laying my life on the line

Singer:jerry jeff walker

layin' my life on the line

that's what i do all the time

well

i find myself each night

facing a white light

layin' my life on the line

driving the road here tonight

my thoughts were of susan and i

now her love sustained me

the road almost claimed me

they're laying my life out in a line

traveling is my way of life

and so it gets crazy sometimes

well

it takes me places

where i see the faces

of people i touched with my lines

sometimes it all feels so right

sometimes i just feel far from home

sometimes i wonder

am i just stumbling through here

have been on this road for too long

but here i am out here tonight

playing the songs that i like

cause the magic is bringing

each song you're singing

your whole life's laid out in lines

well

i'm laying my life on the line
