Down to the Wire Songtext
von Poco

Have you heard about the ones
Who can′t get to sleep at night?
They're walking through their shoes
In the neon light
There′s a strain in their faces
From the wind and the sand
Of the faraway places
Where they had to make a stand

On their way down
On their way down
On their way down
Down to the wire


They were talking in the news
Of a run about to be made
It would come when they cut it loose
From the plan they made
On some future night
When the talk is low
They agree it's right
But, Lord, it's time to go

On their way down
On their way down
On their way down
Down to the wire

Deep in the still of night (On their way down)
They′ll be moving across the line (On their way down)
On their way down
Down to the wire
On their way down (Deep in the still of night)
On their way down (Moving across the line)
On their way down
Down to the wire
