Firing Line
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've known you since you've been born
Raising hell, even as a child
Nothing's changed since that day
You're still out running wild
Hellhounds are on your trail
Getting closer with every passing mile
Hey now baby
Don't you think it's high time
To change your life's direction
Get off the firing line
Well your luck just ain't been running
Lord, very smooth these days
I think it's finally come down that
You're gonna have to mend your ways
Your head's up in the clouds
You can't see through the haze
Hey now sweet baby
Don't you think it's high time
To change your life's direction
Get off the firing line
Step outside, take a look around
Do you see anyone who cares?
Spent your whole life
Steppin' on your friends
Still you ain't nowhere
Search for a new direction
But the past is all you find
You can count up all your mistakes
Blame it on your criminal mind
When you lay down with snakes
Come up poisoned every time
Hey now baby
Don't you think it's high time
To change your life's direction
Get off the firing line
Get off the firing line (Ooh)
Get off the firing line (oh, yeah!)
