I was there when the ship went down But they grabbed before I could drown They scooped my up from the shallows Took me straight to the gallows Now my fate is in the ground So I lay low Walked the line Because they say so I'll do my time Without a halo When they bury me Lay low Walked the line Because they say so I'll do my time Without a halo When they bury me Well I drank like I was underwater And I found myself gasping for air Put the rope around my neck I thought I'd end this wreck But then decided that it wasn't fair So I lay low Walked the line Because they say so I'll do my time Without a halo When they bury me Lay low Walked the line Because they say so I'll do my time Without a halo When they bury me When they find out What I had done They said I have Till I see the sun Well the moral of the story Is you'll never find glory Long as they're the ones Holding the gun So I lay low Walked the line Because they say so I'll do my time Without a halo When they bury me Lay low Walked the line Because they say so I'll do my time Without a halo When they bury me So I lay low Walked the line Because they say so I'll do my time Without a halo When they bury me Lay low Walked the line Because they say so I'll do my time Without a halo When they bury me Lay low Walked the line Because they say so I'll do my time Without a halo When they bury me Lay low Walked the line Because they say so I'll do my time Without a halo When they bury me
