the real world will eat you alive when you're there
you got to fight hard all your life just so you can get by
that's what she said to me
that was her reason why

a wise man once told me this you need to know
people will come and then people, people will go
some you take with you boy
and some you let go
some you just have to let go

found myself walking
found myself walking
down the line
down the line
down the line

forcing our words like a knife in the back
the pain that it sends up my spine really opens my eyes
and it all seems so tragic now as i look towards the skies
looking towards the skies

engraved in my mind is the face of a girl
i can't help but feel in my heart i will find her again
i know she will sing to me
only wish i knew when

found myself walkin, found myself walkin
down the line, down the line
