Laying My Life On The Line Lyrics - Time As We Know It: Songs Of Jerry Jeff Walker - Todd Snider

Laying my life on the line 

Thats what I do all the time 

I find my self each night 

Facing a wide line 

Laying my life on the line 

Music is my way of life 

Sure it gets crazy sometimes 

But it takes me places where I see the faces 

Of people i've touched with my life 

Driving the road here tonight 

Thoughts of Malita and I 

How her love sustained me when the road almost claimed me 

And laid my life on the line 

Sometimes it all feels so good 

Sometimes I feel so far from home 

Sometimes I wonder am i just thumbing through here 

Have I been on this road for too long 

So here I am out here tonight 

Playing the songs that I like 

Cause the magic and singing comes through in your bringing 

Your whole life laid on the line
