G D
There's a curve in the highway, just south of town
Em C
where a man has pulled over to figure life out
G D
with only his conscience and the lonesome sound
C
of diesels winding up grade
G D
He's got a wife and two kids, and they love him so
Em C
He's got a woman down in Georgia, and she's startin' to show
G D
He's damned if he leaves her, and he's sure damned if he don't
[Chorus]
C
And he wonders how life got this way
D G C D
'cause it's a fine line in between right and wrong
G C D
Yea he's been crossing over that border way too long
Em D
He should've seen it coming at him right from the start
C D
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart
[Verse 2]
D
Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing
Em C
like the pull of a lover, or a child in a swing
G D
Gave his heart to two women only one wears his ring
C
They're both gonna have his babies now
G D
So how do you confess, what words don't explain
Em C
He never intended to cause this much pain
G D
Now he feels like a farmer who went praying for rain
C
Got more than he bargained from the clouds
[Chorus]
D G C D
'cause it's a fine line in between right and wrong
G C D
Yea he's been crossing over that border way too long
Em D
He should've seen it coming at him right from the start
C D
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart
[Bridge]
Bm C
He'll turn his car around tonight, go home and try to face the truth
Am G F#m
Everyone involved's getting hurt, now there ain't nothing he can do
[Chorus]
D G C D
'cause it's a fine line in between right and wrong
G C D
Yea he's been crossing over that border way too long
Em D
He should've seen it coming at him right from the start
C D
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart
C D
Yeah, there ain't no escape from a broken heart
C D
They're all gonna wind up with a broken heart
