Hootie & The Blowfish
"A Fine Line"

(Radney Foster)

There's a curve in the highway just south of town 
Where a man has pulled over to figure life out 
With only his conscience and the lonesome sound 
Of diesels windin' up the grade 

He's got a wife and two kids, they love him so 
And a woman down in Georgia, she startin' to show 
He's damned if he leaves and he' sure damned if he don't 
And he wonders how life got this way 

('Cause its) A fine line in between right and wrong 
(Yeah) He's been crossing over that border way too long 
He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start 
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart 

Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing 
Like the pull of a lover or a child in a swing 
He gave his heart to two women, only one wears his ring 
They're both gonna have his babies now 

So how do you confess what words won't explain 
He never intended to cause this much pain 
Now he feels like a farmer who went prayin' for rain 
And got that he bargained from the clouds 

(And its) (REPEAT CHORUS) 

He'll turn his care around tonight 
Go home and try to face the truth 
Everyone involed's getting" hurt 
And there aint nothin' he can do 

He shoulda seen it comin' at him right from the start 
Now there ain't no escape, now there ain't no escape 
From 

(REPEAT CHORUS) 

Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart 
Yeah they're all gonna wind up with a broken heart
