Layin' My Life On The Line

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



Bridge:

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
