Have you heard about the ones who can't get to sleep at night   Walking through their shoes in the neon light   There's a strain in their faces from the wind and the sand   Of the far away places where they had to make a stand      On their way down, on their way down, on their way down, down to the wire      They were talking in the news, of a run about to be made   It would come when they cut it loose, from the plan they lay   On some future night, when the talk is low   They agree it's right and Lord it's time to go      On their way down, on their way down, on their way down, down to the wire      (Solo)      Deep in the still of night (on their way down)   They'll be movin' across the line (on their way down)   On their way down, down to the wire      On their way down (deep in the still of night)   On their way down (they'll be movin' across the line)   On their way down, down to the wire
