Tightrope

I set out on the road to God
Went looking for his house
To see if he would save my soul
When I got there he was out
Nobody home
Well I found nobody home

The devil walked right up and asked
Is there something I can do
You seem a little out of place
I think that I can help you
Walk with me
Why don't you walk with me

CHORUS
Now I'm walking that tightrope baby
And that wind is blowing
I'm losing my grip
And my fear is growing
Rescue me
Won't somebody rescue me

I said no thank you darling
I think I'll walk alone
But it's been good to see you
And I threw his dog a bone
And he was gone
Well I blinked and he was gone

I came upon an old rope bridge
Stretched out at least a mile
Sign said cross to meet the Lord
I just stood there for a while
Should I walk on
Not sure I should walk on

CHORUS

The bridge held as I took a step
I got brave so I took two
I felt the rope beneath me give
And I tumbled straight on through
Into the dark
I plunged into the dark

The dark is where I'm sitting still
I'm waiting to be saved
Someone better get here soon
Cause I'm starting to lose faith
Heard the devil laugh
I swear I heard that devil laugh
