White Line

Lyrics

It seems like I was there from the start
 A witness to your wild and reckless heart
 You showed me the way but now you're gone
 Quicker than the trigger of an outlaw's gun
 Living fast and dying young
 A victim of this road you left me on
 White line took my baby
 Led him down that dark highway
 Headlight blind, driving crazy
 If my wheels keep turning
 Gonna roll that white line away
 We worked the road as hard as we could drive her
 But now I am the only survivor
 From night to night at every place I play in
 The sweetness of your song remains
 I'll be the keeper of the flame
 Until every soul hears what your heart was saying
 White line took my baby
 Led him down that dark highway
 Headlight blind, driving crazy
 If my wheels keep turning
 Gonna roll that white line away
 All the nights you spent alone
 All the love I'd never shown
 All the words I could not say
 'Til that white line took you away
 White line took you away
 ♪
 I'll follow this white line down where it's winding
 'Cause somewhere up ahead your light's still shining
 The sound of the silver strings will guide me
 I've stood and watched the bridges burn
 I'm past the point of no return
 Oh, how I wish that you were here beside me
 White line took my baby
 Led him down that dark highway
 Headlight blind, driving crazy
 If my wheels keep turning
 Gonna roll that white line away
 White line took my baby
 Led him down that dark highway
 Headlight blind, driving crazy
 If my wheels keep turning
 Gonna roll that white line away
 White line took my baby
 Led him down...
