Tightrope
Vaughan, Stevie Ray

Caught up in the whirlwind, can't catch my breath
Knee deep in hot water, broke out in 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 looking for revenge
Thank God it never found me, would have been the end

(I was) Walkin' the tight rope, steppin' on my friends
Walkin' the tight rope, was a shame and a sin
Walkin' the tight rope, between wrong and right
Walkin' the tight rope, both day and night

[Solo]

Lookin' back in front of me, in the mirror's grin
Through eyes of love I see, I'm really lookin' at a friend
We've all had our problems, that's the way life is
My heart goes out to others, who are there to make amends

We've been walkin' the tightrope, tryin' to make it right
Walkin' the tight rope, every day and every night
Walkin' the tight rope, bring it all around
Walkin' the tight rope, from the lost to found

Walkin' the tight rope, streched around the world
Walkin' the tight rope, save the boys and girls
Walkin' the tight rope, let's make it right
Walkin' the tight rope, do it, do it tonight
Walkin' the tightrope

[Outro Solo]
