Em                             
Someone left a child and did not 
         Am
even care
Em                                
Before the first shots of the 
     B7
battle here had even pierced the air
Em                                
Yes, they run now like them 
      Am
children to those arms of mother 
earth
Em                                
Trying to pretend as if there was 
     B7
a day before their very birth

CHORUS
B7                                
But, me I just grab these ropes 
                                A
that me and mine have left behind
C                                 
And I stare up to that mountain 
      B7
that I know I got to climb
Em                  Am
I keep towin that line   Mmmmmm
Em                  B7
I keep towin that line   Mmmmmm

Em                                
But,down in basements choked with 
      Am
smoke child of the past
Em                            
All them dreams come up for air 
         B7
round here but they can only gasp
Em                                
All them old men they sit staring 
      Am
as life slips out of their grips
Em                                
Only to fall and disappear beyond 
     B7
their cracked old fingertips

Em                  Am
I keep towin that line   Mmmmmm
Em                  B7
I keep towin that line   Mmmmmm

Em                  Am
But down in ditches by that road I 
call my own
Em                                
All of you come a cussin' now all 
                          B7
and all just throwing stones
Em                  Am
Yes they're big men now to settle 
down and life's so stale and cold
Em                                
As if I could spend my life the 
     B7
way they do just as they're told
B7                              A
So if you should find me living low 
when the miles have passed me by
C                               
And it seems that I have left now 
B7
all that I could love behind
Em                    Am
I'm just towin that line   Mmmmmm
Em                      B7
I'm just towin that line     Mmmmmm
