Dancin’

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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
