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
