Have you got a fine place to slip to when you're feeling down
Have you had a week or two just to get your troubles down
Found a lot of life and laughter with her grandfather in the bowery
She had a body of sixteen or seventeen
She had a mind of forty
I met her on a cold day
In a city far away
Where the worlds about zero
And I saw at once into her soul
She smiled and called me her hero
Then like a walk in the rain in the rain
I found a lot of death that day
With her grandfather in the bowery
Cos I lie down like the wild
She had a halo of gold
Told me stories of her life and her courage was sublime
Cos you're mine
I walk the line
Cos you're mine
I walk the line
Have you got a fine place to slip to when you're feeling down
Have you had a week or two just to get your troubles down
Found a lot of life and laughter with her grandfather in the bowery
She had a body of sixteen or seventeen
But she had a mind of forty
Where the worlds about zero
And I saw at once into her soul
She smiled and called me her hero
Then like a walk in the rain in the rain
I found a lot of death that day
With her grandfather in the bowery
Cos I lie down like the wild
She had a halo of gold
Told me stories of her life and her courage was sublime
Cos you're mine
I walk the line
Cos you're mine
I walk the line
