Well I got banged up with a honkey tonk red in a bar in downtown cow town

Pushed my luck and lost my head in a lowdown bricktown hoedown

Can't keep dancin' on the edge of a knife

Can't bleed on forever

Just keep walkin' on the tip of your toes and maybe you can keep it together

You can have a good life, kids and a wife

A hotrod and a good time band

Hard livin' on the wild side of life

Beats the hell out of workin' for the

Can't keep dancin' on the edge of a knife

Just for the sake of the sound

Just keep movin' on the tip of your toes and maybe you can get along

Try to stand up but everything falls

Try to speak your mind wind up with your back to the wall

Work around nothin' but snakes

You might grow a few scales

You do whatever it takes

Even if it takes you to hell

I'm just walkin' in my own little world like all of your daughters and sons

Wouldn't trade a minute for a mile of pearls and I hope that I'm not the only one

Can't keep keep dancin' on the edge of a knife

Like flyin' too close to the sun

Just keep groovin' on the tip of your toes and maybe your day will come
