Tightrope (Tingley Coliseum, Alberquerque, New Mexico 28 Nov 89) - Stevie Ray Vaughan

Caught up in a whirlwind

can't catch my breath,

knee deep in hot water

broke out in a cold sweat

Can't catch a turtle

in this rat race,

feels like I'm losin' 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 lookin' for revenge,

thank God it never found me

would have been the end

I was walkin' the tightrope

steppin' on my friends

Walkin' the tightrope

it was a shame and a sin

Walkin' the tightrope

between wrong and right

Walkin' the tightrope

both day and night

Lookin' back in front of me

in the mirror's a grin,

through eyes of love I see

I'm really lookin' at a friend

We've all had our problems

that's the way life is,

my heart goes out to others

who are there to make amends

We've been walkin' the tightrope

tryin' 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
