There's shattered glass on the rocks by the riverbed

Where I used to go to try and clear my head

That's where I found that life is just a game

And that's where I heard the night first call my name



It's a hard line I'll be walking till the end of time

It's a hard line my friend

It's a hard line harder than you know

It's a hard line my friend



The man I am today is not the man I've been

I'm never going back to learn those lessons again

I won't be a face in the crowd that got left behind

Looking for something I'm never going to find



It's a hard line I'll be walking till the end of time

It's a hard line my friend

It's a hard line harder than you know

It's a hard line my friend



You chose your path my friend I chose mine

And maybe we'll meet again at the end of the line

All I've ever got is plenty of hard time

Cause this life I chose is a hard, hard line



It's a hard line I'll be walking till the end of time

It's a hard line my friend

It's a hard line harder than you know

It's a hard line my friend
