There's a path that stretches before us

And it's as fragile as it is long

And the line that the path follows

Is not a straight forward one

It dips and it wiggles

Sometimes it climbs

Far too close to the sun

But I - I keep that path under my feet

Cause I know it's the only one

And we had strayed from that path so often

But they're now just distant stains

There's guys in this town

That have fallen down

And never found their feet again

They made their woman cry

Once too many times

She's keepin' some other fellow on tonight

But I - I keep that path under my feet

I keep my eyes on that line

And when old friends come calling

I may hang around for a while

It's not a question of falling

They're just important people in my life

They get that look in their eye

That says, "Let's go too far"

I know it's time to find my car

And get back to my baby's arms

And keep my eyes on that line

Yeah I - I keep that path under my feet

I keep my eyes on that line

(Bridge)

There's a path that stretches before us

And it's as fragile as it is long

And the line that the path follows

Is not a straight forward one

It dips and it wiggles

Sometimes it climbs

Far too close to the sun

But I - I keep that path under my feet

Cause I know it's the only one

Yeah I - I keep that path under my feet

Cause I know it's the only one

Yeah I - I keep that path under my feet

Cause I know it's the only one
