Down To The Wire lyrics

WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE WIRE
NO ONE WILL HELP, EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF
WHEN IT COMES DOWN T THE WIRE
YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU CAN FOR YOURSELF

THERE'S A CONTRACT OUT ON ME
NOW THERE'S NO SAFE PLACE TO BE
I'M ON THE RUN ALL DAY AND NIGHT
LAYING LOW, STAYING OUT OF SIGHT

I'M NOT SURE IF I CAN TAKE IT
I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN MAKE IT
ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD
CAN'T BUY A TRUE FRIEND

WHEN IT COMES DOWN,
DOWN TO THE WIRE!
WHEN IT COMES DOWN,
DOWN TO THE WIRE!

I'M SO TIRED, BUT I DON'T DARE GO TO SLEEP
HOW DID I GET IN SO DEEP?
I LEARNED SOMETHING
THAT I'D RATHER NOT KNOW
MAYBE I COULD MAKE IT DOWN TO MEXICO
I KNOW WAY MORE THAN I'D LIKE TO ADMIT
AND THEY KNOW I KNOW, THAT'S WHY THE HIT
IT'S THE NOT KNOWING WHEN THAT I REALLY DREAD
THEY'LL BE AFTER ME UNTIL I'M DEAD

WHEN IT COMES
DOWN TO THE WIRE
NO ONE WILL HELP,
EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF
WHEN IT COMES
DOWN T THE WIRE YOU
HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU
CAN FOR YOURSELF

CAN'T GO TO WORK, I CAN'T GO HOME
GOTTA FACE IT, I'M ALONE
HIDING BEHIND EVERY BUSH AND TREE
MAY BE SOMEONE WAITING FOR ME
IT COULD BE SOMEONE THAT I KNOW
CAN'T THINK OF A WORSE WAY TO GO
COULD EVEN BE A GOOD FRIEND THEY HIRE
WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE WIRE

WHEN IT COMES DOWN,
DOWN TO THE WIRE!
WHEN IT COMES DOWN,
DOWN TO THE WIRE!
