Waylon Jennings - Hardline

Midnight, street light,
Shadows, touch your face
Whisper, goodnight,
Though I want you so, to stay.

Chorus:
I'm standing on the hardline,
Taking my sweet time
Praying that you'll see why,
I' m slow to change.

Been fighting on the front line,
Victim of a heart crime
Just can't let you steal mine away
Listen, reasons never will explain.

Freedom, is just to save time,
'Til I'm strong enough,
To bend and not break.

Chorus:
I'm standing on the hardline,
Taking my sweet time
Hoping that you'll see why,
I'm slow to change.

Been fighting on the front line,
Victim of a hard crime

Just can't let you steal mine away...

Well, I need your trust,
Don't give up, don't shut me down,
I'll open up,
If you just try love my way.

Chorus:

Taking my sweet time
Hoping that you'll see why,
I'm slow to change.

Been fighting on the front line,
Victim of a hard crime
Can't just let you steal mine away...
