Lyrics

Straight Line

She's back on her feet and dizzy in the head
From years of drinking hard and waking up in strangers beds
Every time she steps ahead she always falls behind
Sometimes this ever spinning world makes it hard to walk a straight line.

She's got a new born child she watches with eyes of doubt
She's done a lot of lifeless things she couldn't live without
She's afraid he'll bear the burden of the need she fights and minds
Coz sometimes this ever spinning world makes it hard to walk a straight line

It's hard to walk a straight line and keep a clear mind
When your heart wants to go home but your blood needs to ride an endless highway lost in space and time.
Sometimes this ever spinning world makes it hard to walk a straight line

She's gonna give up that life and put down the booze
When she looks in her baby's eyes she knows she's got too much to lose
She worries for his tomorrows and hope they'll treat him fine
Coz sometimes this ever spinning world makes it hard to walk a straight line

Chorus

All she ever wanted was someone to hold her open hand
And forgive her for the ways only she can understand
She's praying for the strength to get her through each daily grind
Sometimes this ever spinning world makes it hard to walk a straight line
