Sometimes The Line Walks You Lyrics - In Bocca Al Lupo - Murder By Death

I've taken a hit or two 

I've given quite a few 

I swing my fists and the cities all fall 

I've broken a law or two 

reckon I only missed a few 

I watch these long days pass 

through the bars I curse the brass 

I've had a cracked rib or two 

I guess I've busted more 

I've laid a couple out on the coolin' board 

sometimes you walk the line 

and sometimes it walks you 

you get quick to anger 

quick to put a knife up 

to another man's throat 

I cannot still 

the hell that's in these hands 

when they came to take me in 

didn't try to fight just let them win 

a man died in my cell 

damn the gaurds sure gave me hell 

I'd love to see them horesmen ride 

so law and order stand aside 

oh this woman and gin 

go together like the devil and sin 

her hair is like wheat 

her lips are like wine 

gonna meet her at the end 

of the county line 

JAILBREAK tonight 

bring on the floodlights 

in a few more yards we'll reach the line 

and meet up with a friend of mine 

the dogs are comin' swift and mean 

but I'm hungrier than they have ever been
