End of the Line
Gotta be strong, it won't be long
Until the day is over
Six long years, hammering steel
Can't lose my cover
Didn't do what they said I did
Now I'm on the run
Nothing left but an iron track
Underneath the burning sun
Keeping frontier justice at bay
Looking for a better way
Living every day on borrowed time
Until I find myself
At the end of the line
Born a skid in a shotgun shack
Nothing but the clothes on my back
Left my home to find my fortune
Earned my way with knife and gun
But I never killed just for fun
No matter what they said I done
Honorable men stand tall
Even as the gallows call
Keeping frontier justice at bay
Looking for a better way
Living every day on borrowed time
Until I find myself
At the end of the line
I counted my days done
Watching that final sunrise come
In jail with a wild-eyed kid
His crew snuck in town and hid
They walked me out to face the noose
With a yell they broke loose
That kid's friends all fire and fighting
I slipped away to a life of hiding
Keeping frontier justice at bay
Looking for a better way
Living every day on borrowed time
Until I find myself
At the end of the line
Until the day is over
Six long years, hammering steel
Can't lose my cover
Didn't do what they said I did
Now I'm on the run
Nothing left but an iron track
Underneath the burning sun
Keeping frontier justice at bay
Looking for a better way
Living every day on borrowed time
Until I find myself
At the end of the line
Born a skid in a shotgun shack
Nothing but the clothes on my back
Left my home to find my fortune
Earned my way with knife and gun
But I never killed just for fun
No matter what they said I done
Honorable men stand tall
Even as the gallows call
Keeping frontier justice at bay
Looking for a better way
Living every day on borrowed time
Until I find myself
At the end of the line
I counted my days done
Watching that final sunrise come
In jail with a wild-eyed kid
His crew snuck in town and hid
They walked me out to face the noose
With a yell they broke loose
That kid's friends all fire and fighting
I slipped away to a life of hiding
Keeping frontier justice at bay
Looking for a better way
Living every day on borrowed time
Until I find myself
At the end of the line
