Allman Brothers Band End Of The Line
And now the gravity of the trouble … was more than I could bear
At times my luck was so bad … I had to fold my hands
Almost lost my soul … rarely I could find my head
Wake up early in the mornin’ … feelin’ nearly dead
I was never afraid of danger … took trouble on the chin
Mountains I have climbed … that have killed a thousand men
Spent most of my lifetime downtown … sleepin' behind the wheel
I never needed anybody … I was king of the hill
Ohhh … when I think about the old days
Lord, it sends chills up and down my spine
Hey life ain't what it seems … on the boulevard of broken dreams
Guess I opened my eyes in the nick of time
'Cause it sure felt like the end of the line
No matter how hard I run … I just can't get away
I try to do my best … but the devil gets in my way
Spent most of my lifetime downtown … sleepin' behind the wheel
'Till it all came down … to kill or be killed
Ohhh … when I think about the old days
Lord, it sends chills up and down my spine
Hey life ain't what it seems … on the boulevard of broken dreams
Guess I opened my eyes in the nick of time
'Cause it sure felt like the end of the line
Felt like the end … of the line
Yes it did … of the line
Felt like the end … of the line
