Tightrope (Written By – Doyle Bramhall, Stevie Ray Vaughan) Songtext
von The String Cheese Incident

Caught up in a whirlwind, can′t catch my breath
Knee deep in hot water, broke out in a cold sweat
Can't catch a turtle in this rat race
Feels like I′m losin' time at a breakneck pace

Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace
Heart full of darkness spotlight on my face
There was love all around me but I was lookin' for revenge
Thank God it never found me would have been the end


I′m walkin′ the tightrope, every day and every night
I'm walkin′ the tightrope, between wrong and right
I'm walkin′ the tightrope, it was a shame and a sin
I'm walkin" the tightrope bet all the gift

Lookin′ back in front of me, the mirror's a grin
Through eyes of love I see I'm really lookin′ at a friend
There was love all around me but I was lookin′ for revenge
Thank God it never found me would have been the end

I'm walkin′ the tightrope' every day and every night
I′m walkin' the tightrope, between wrong and right
I′m walkin' the tightrope, tryin' to bring it all around
I′m walkin′ the tightrope from the lost to found


Yeah I'm walkin′ the tightrope, it was a shame and a sin
Walkin' the tightrope, steeking all my friends
Walkin′ the tightrope, all around the world
Walkin' the tightrope, for the boys and girls
