The Line We're Riding (single)

by Adam McBride-Smith

/
1.
I’ve been rolled, rousted too Hung up on that fence Nothing to show but these weary blues For my time and expense The line I’m riding may be bound over Jordan Or it may roll an aimless mile All I know is it kept this rambler Out of the weather for a while Did you ever see some poor soul And think, “That’s none of my own?” Did you ever wake to a low sound Wonder what earthly thing could make such a moan? The line we’re riding might be bound for glory But it is not bound for hell Cause that’s the place from which we’re leaving At the sound of the station bell Who among us, can say our people Weren’t once the ones with nothing left to lose? Cause nobody ever made it this far Unless they’d already paid their dues The line we’re riding may be bound for the tall pines It may trace that diamond shore But whether you’re a sinner or just tired of running There’s always room for one more Did you ever see some poor soul And think, “That’s none of my own?” Did you ever wake to a low sound And wonder what in God’s name could make such a moan? Line you’re riding may be bound over Jordan May be bound for the Wailing Wall May be bound for Dar us-Salaam It may be bound nowhere at all The line we’re riding may be bound for the tall pines It may trace that diamond shore But whether you’re a sinner or just tired of running There’s always room for one more

Some flowers I picked from the neighbor’s yard Some dollar store chocolates, ribbons and a card Catch some online shows With a stolen access code That’s the secret of a three-dollar date A trip to Hawaii only takes two cans One for the pineapple and one for the spam Elvis on the box Dancing in your socks That’s the secret of a two-dollar date Someday I’ll buy you a dress of silk Sapphires as blue as the sky But you know I love you and I always will More than what money can buy Some flowers I picked from the neighbor’s yard The song that I wrote you, and a hand-made card Stay close to me The kisses are free That’s the secret of a no dollar date Someday I’ll buy you a dress of silk Sapphires as blue as the sky But you know I love you and I always will More than what money can buy Some flowers I picked from the neighbor’s yard A song that I wrote you, and a hand-made card Stay close to me The kisses are free That’s the secret of a no dollar date
