The County Line

lyrics

Take your time on the county line
Careful of the words that you leave behind
No man alive can catch up to you
Even if you're standing still

Lose that number that she gave to you
You know the harm that it can do
No time left for emotion
No void left to fill

CHORUS
As the blood runs through your veins
It drains from another
All the while you contemplate
When they will discover
It was you

Busted lip and a broken tooth
Couldn't let him make a fool of you
He had taken advantage of the situation
And you know that wouldn't do

So you laid him out upon the curb
A moment of silence was observed
All the while you heard her screaming
Shouting out his name

CHORUS

Your face on TV screens province-wide
Guess you can run but you can't hide
This old motel room's getting smaller
Yeah, The walls are closing in

All the way to hell on a suicide run
A blaze of fire down the 401
The sound of metal hitting concrete
The air begins to chill

CHORUS 2
As the blood runs from your veins
And the reaper comes a callin'
As that light shines in your eyes
You finally realize
You were just a man

about

Tom Savage Kingston, Ontario

Tom Savage is what one might refer to as a triple-threat. One part truth-telling troubadour, one part death-defying guitar slinger, and one part Country Blues howler. Each facet of his formidable on-stage persona carefully crafted over a 20+ year devotion to the composition and performance of song. Tom is a true believer. A disciple of melody and harmony and tempo and timbre. ... more
