Beyond The Edge

Dan Fogelberg · Exiles [1987]

Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute

Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun

Beyond the edge way beyond the limit

Beyond the edge on a downhill run



Some play it cool, some take it easy

Some never know what the snow can do

Some call me fool, some call my crazy

I may be crazy but I'm crazy about you



Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute

Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun

Beyond the edge way beyond the limit

Beyond the edge on a downhill run



You got no guts, you get no glory

There ain't no ruts along the easy ride

Out on the edge it's another story

Some got to take it to the other side



Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute

Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun

Beyond the edge way beyond the limit

Beyond the edge on a downhill run



Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute

Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun

Beyond the edge way beyond the limit

Beyond the edge on a downhill run



Beyond the edge twenty miles a minute

Shot like a bullet from a frozen gun

Beyond the edge way beyond the limit

Beyond the edge on a downhill run
