Lyrics
LONG THIN LINE
© 2002 Words & Music by Chuck Lee Bramlet
Your face is stolen and your fate is sealed
Three hundred dollars and an Oldsmobile
Dyed your hair, changed your name
You take the credit and I?ll take the blame
I put myself out on that line
I?m nearly dead but feeling fine
So drop the ruse you?ll see my friend
That all good things must someday end
You?ve got a long thin line
To travel yet with me
You?ve got a long thin line
Of credit to be free
Cause it might take you a long time to see
Your good intentions took me down
From Paradise to Needles town
From old Merced to Bakersfield
I saw my future through a steering wheel
You?ve got a long thin line
To travel yet with me
You?ve got a long thin line
Of credit to be free
Cause it might take you a long time to see
Yes I do forgive your past
I?ve got one too, It doesn?t last
Lower the seat, and rest your head
There?s miles and miles of road ahead
Tell me darlin?
Then tell me again
How long does it take to
Shed your skin
You?ve got a long thin line
To travel yet with me
You?ve got a long thin line
Of credit to be free
You?ve got a long thin line
You?ve got a long thin line
You?ve got a long thin line
