There's shattered glass on the rocks by the riverbed   Where I used to go to try and clear my head   That's where I found that life is just a game   And that's where I heard the night first call my name      It's a hard line I'll be walking till the end of time   It's a hard line my friend   It's a hard line harder than you know   It's a hard line my friend      The man I am today is not the man I've been   I'm never going back to learn those lessons again   I won't be a face in the crowd that got left behind   Looking for something I'm never going to find      It's a hard line I'll be walking till the end of time   It's a hard line my friend   It's a hard line harder than you know   It's a hard line my friend      You chose your path my friend I chose mine   And maybe we'll meet again at the end of the line   All I've ever got is plenty of hard time   Cause this life I chose is a hard, hard line      It's a hard line I'll be walking till the end of time   It's a hard line my friend   It's a hard line harder than you know   It's a hard line my friend
