Down the Line Lyrics by Kiefer Sutherland
The sun is setting on the river
And the last boat passes by
You can hear her crying in the back bedroom
She’s run out of try
He left her just three days ago
With his stories and his lies
And she never thought she’d be here
This far down the line
Down the line, down the line
When you’re running out of time
Where did all the good men go
While you were running down the line
Down the line, down the line
Feeling left behind
Watching all your hopes and dreams
Fall right between the lines
No reason was given
No one left to fight
He stole away my years
And slipped off in the night
Staring in the mirror
At the failure of my life
I never thought I’d be here
This far down the line
Down the line, down the line
When you’re running out of time
Where did all the good men go
While you were running down the line
Down the line, down the line
Feeling left behind
Watching all your hopes and dreams
Fall right between the lines
I could barely breathe
There was no hope in sight
When you’re down on your knees
It’s hard to face the fight
The tears start to fall
As I turn out the light
‘Cause I never thought I’d be here
This far down the line
Down the line, down the line
When you’re running out of time
Where did all the good men go
While you were running down the line
Down the line, down the line
Feeling left behind
Watching all your hopes and dreams
Fall right between the lines
Hope ain’t just a word
It’s a state of mind
And from everything I’ve seen
You’re never… out of time
So, hold the line, hold the line
You can do it one more time
Hold the line, hold the line
You ain’t been left behind
Just hold the line, hold the line
Trust your heart and you’ll find
You can stop your hopes and dreams
From falling through the lines, oh, come on
