Lyrics
?BACK?S TO THE WALL WALTZ?
Music and Lyrics by Buck Finley B.M.I.
Copyright 2005
If I had a dream, would you walk with me
Will you stand when my back?s to the wall
?Cause the vision I see that I can?t let go of
If I?d close my eyes would you walk away
Ain?t no whiskey in sight and no turning back
Where do we take it from here
If I?d promise you darling we?d shoot for the moon
Will you stay when our back?s to the wall
(Chorus)
When courage and running all run together
I?ll hold you past morning?s light
When forces of evil and good start to scuffle
I promise I?ll stay by your side
(Turn around)
There ain?t much feeling left to hold on to
So we?ll just hold on the best that we can
It?ll get better with dawns early light
Somehow we?ll find us a way out of here
(Chorus)
When courage and running all run together
I?ll hold you past morning?s light
When forces of evil and good start to scuffle
I promise I?ll stay by your side
(Instrumental)
If I had a dream, would you walk with me
Will you stand when my back?s to the wall
?Cause the vision I see I can?t let go of
If I?d close my eyes would you walk away
Ain?t no whiskey in sight and no turning back
Where do we take it from here
If I?d promise you darling we?d shoot for the moon
Will you stay when our back?s to the wall
If I had a dream, would you walk with me
Will you stand when my back?s to the wall
