Across the Line歌词

[00:00]Robert Cray - Across The Line
[00:04.88](Don't Be Afraid of the Dark)
[00:22.33]
[00:22.49]There's so many reasons
[00:25.09]A man will commit a crime
[00:30.15]Frustration's gnawin' at him
[00:32.95]Twisting up his mind
[00:35.75]
[00:37.41]He's tickin' like a bomb
[00:39.87]That may go off at any time
[00:42.96]
[00:44.37]I'm not here to make excuses
[00:47.27]I didn't walk into it blind
[00:50.37]
[00:52.09]It was plain old greed
[00:54.55]Took something that wasn't mine
[00:57.75]
[00:59.06]It was the weakness for a woman
[01:01.87]That made me step across the line
[01:05.13]
[01:06.44]What made it so bad
[01:09.14]Was that I had a woman of my own
[01:13.90]
[01:14.00]And she never did wrong to me
[01:16.55]Almost did her best to make our home
[01:20.26]
[01:21.15]From these cheatin' seeds I planted
[01:23.91]Some big-time grief has grown
[01:27.21]
[01:30.27]There's never been a man who's lived a perfect life
[01:36.88]I cut three hearts to pieces
[01:38.99]Didn't even use a knife
[01:43.04]I didn't have the common decency
[01:46.20]To lay off my brother's wife
[01:51.06]
[01:51.11](Saxophone solo)
[02:12.19]
[02:12.99](Guitar solo)
[02:34.32]
[02:34.52]No they won't put me in prison
[02:37.53]I'll be doing some hard time
[02:40.73]
[02:42.48]Child supporting alimony
[02:45.24]Taking my very last dime
[02:48.04]
[02:49.44]I didn't think about the damage
[02:52.15]When I stepped across the line
[02:58.21]
