Thin Line Man Songtext / Lyric

I got a blanket on my back

That keeps a wicked wind down to a mild attack

I got a bottle in the sack

That keeps a maniacal mind off the river

That waits below this railroad track



I'm a thin line man now, I just go away

A thin line man, well I just go away

I lay low when I can, I lay low when I can

I lay low I lay low






I hear me a radio song from a long time ago

It helps me to move along

When I don't want to but I know

I got to go



There's a dead town on my mind that holds no mystery

Way back down the line, well that's his story

There's a shallow pond there that hides a shiny gun

Because I had to leave now

They all believe that I'm on the run



They'll string me up and put me down

Say I wouldn't had to hang if I would've hung around

Got me a background no one knows

They'll say that's just the way it goes

For a drifter in this town
