There's a long, straight line between your heart and mine
The ties that bind, the ways we find the creases and the folds
Cause on this long, dusty road you're the only one to know
The rhythm of my soul through the passages of time
Cause there's a long, straight line
Out on the ridge 'for the sun comes up
Say my prayers and fill my cup
Plead to sky the light will shine
And lead me to that long, straight line
Wash my face and stand up tall
Roll my shoulders up against the wall
Reach down deep and hold on tight
And lead me to that long, straight line
There will be trouble up ahead
But there's no worry in my head
There's a long, straight line between your heart and mine
The ties that bind, the ways we find the creases and the folds
Cause on this long, dusty road you're the only one to know
The rhythm of my soul through the passages of time
Cause there's a long, straight line
Late at night when the west has won
Rest my head for my work is done
Tired and cold I seek what's right
That leads me to that long, straight line
There will be trouble up ahead
But there's no worry in my head
There's a long, straight line between your heart and mine
The ties that bind, the ways we find the creases and the folds
Cause on this long, dusty road you're the only one to know
The rhythm of my soul through the passages of time
Cause there's a long, straight line
I've been working hard, hard enough to get my fill
Breaking my back and taking my chances higher and higher still
I've been working hard, hard enough to feed the fire
But the flames burn brighter, so much hotter than they ever have before
There will be trouble up ahead
But there's no worry in my head
There's a long, straight line between your heart and mine
The ties that bind, the ways we find the creases and the folds
Cause on this long, dusty road you're the only one to know
The rhythm of my soul through the passages of time
Cause there's a long, straight line
