Radney Foster Lyrics
"A Fine Line"

There's a curve in the highway, just south of town
Where a man has pulled over to figure life out
With only his concience and the lonesome sound
Of diesels winding up the grade.

He's got a wife and two kids, and they love him so.
He's got a woman down in Georgia, and she's startin' to show
He's damned if he leaves her, and he's sure damned if he don't
And he wonders how life got this way.

'Cause it's a fine line in between right and wrong.
Yea, he's been crossing over that border way too long
He should've seen it coming at him right from the start
Now there aint' no escape from a broken heart.

Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing,
Like the pull of a lover, or a child in a swing
Gave his heart to two women only one wears his ring
They're both gonna have his babies now.

So how do you confess, what words don't explain
He never intended to cause this much pain.
Now he feels like a farmer who went praying for the rain
Got more than he bargained from the clouds.

[chorus]

He'll turn his car around tonight, go home and try to face the truth
Everyone involved's getting hurt, now there aint nothing he can do.

[chorus]
