Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Tightrope lyrics

Caught up in a 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 losing 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 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 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 had all our problems, that's the way life is My heart goes out to others, who are there to make amends We have been walkin' the tightrope Trying to make it right Walkin' the tightrope every day and every night Walkin' the tightrope bring it all around Walkin' the tightrope from the lost to found Walkin' the tightrope stretched around the world Walkin' the tightrope save the boys and girls Walkin' the tightrope let's make it right Walkin' the tightrope do it, do it tonight Walkin the tightrope
