Down To The Wire Lyrics - Dri

When it comes down to the wire 

No one will help, every man for himself 

When it comes down t the wire 

You have to do what you can for yourself 

There's a contract out on me 

Now there's no safe place to be 

I'm on the run all day and night 

Laying low, staying out of sight 

I'm not sure if I can take it 

I don't know if I can make it 

All the money in the world 

Can't buy a true friend 

When it comes down, down to the wire 

When it comes down, down to the wire 

I'm so tired, but I don't dare go to sleep 

How did I get in so deep? 

I learned something that I'd rather not know 

Maybe I could make it down to mexico 

I know way more than I'd like to admit 

And they know I know, that's why the hit 

It's the not knowing when that I really dread 

They'll be after me until I'm dead 

When it comes down to the wire 

No one will help, every man for himself 

When it comes down t the wire 

You have to do what you can for yourself 

Can't go to work, I can't go home 

Gotta face it, I'm alone 

Hiding behind every bush and tree 

May be someone waiting for me 

It could be someone that I know 

Can't think of a worse way to go 

Could even be a good friend they hire 

When it comes down to the wire 

When it comes down, down to the wire 

When it comes down, down to the wire
