Bruce Hornsby - Line In The Dust LYRICS

I'm walking outside and I see you arrive

You say let's go for a ride, and have a good old time

I'm saving up lies, or just stay quiet every time

While you talk your line, keep everything fine

Bwtween us, I can see, things are not what they used to be

My old friend changed or maybe it was me

Things get so complicated, jokes maed, friendships dissipated

Long silence but I speak now so belated, I say



Hey, wait a minute, what's that you said?

Not so sure that I heard you right

Hey, wait a minute, oh say that again

You're in the dust drawing a long straight line



We'd be playing outside, we'd swing on the swings

Shared most everything, sit there and even sing

Now I sit and wonder, why it's a friendship charade

Looking for fighhts all day, I don't want to play

But I do, here we go, you fire off another lame remark

You're in the dark

No bite, just your bark but it leaves a painful mark

Painful mark on your soul, takes its toll, might as well fold

I've got my courage up, gonna roll, roll



Hey, wait a minute, what's that you said?

Not so sure that I heard you right

Hey, wait a minute, oh say that again

You're in the dust drawing a long straight line



We talk and talk but you never see

Unreconstructed defiantly

My old friend changed but maybe it was me

Things get so complicated

Jokes made, friendships dissipated

I've stayed quiet so we don't get alienated



Hey, wait a minute, what's that you said?

Not so sure that I heard you right

Hey, wait a minute, oh say that again

You're in the dust drawing a long straight line

Oh say that again

Watch yourself drawing a line in the dust
