I've crossed the line I've bent the rules Home of the brave Red, white, and blue I've fought the fire Running through my head Stood by and watched Believed in what they said I'm 40 miles of bad road A riverbed of potholes I know, I know, I know where the money goes Down a shaft of ratholes Lowered by my ankles Where dear dogs lie in the afterglow I've walked the cage I've been in cuffs I've done the time Enough is enough I know my rights Know when I'm wrong But nothing seemed to matter Until you came along I've wrapped my wounds I've closed my eyes Escaped to nowhere Turning back the tide I asked the sage What it's gonna take To get out of Jordan With everything at stake
