Open Line

I used to burn it down most every night Searchin' for trouble, fishin' for a fight Hopin' to find An open line I couldn't be persuaded of any other way Seems the path grew darker with each passin' day I couldn't find an open line I was in a tunnel with no light at the end Darkness closin' in, so close behind I know there's redemption, but it seems so hard to win Lord, help relieve this troubled mind Help me find an open line One cold November I ended up in jail It's hard to see Heaven from the other side of Hell The devil don't abide no open line I was in a tunnel with no light at the end Darkness closin' in, so close behind I know there's redemption, but it seems so hard to win Lord, help relieve this troubled mind Help me find an open line Some call on Jesus, some cry out tears Some learn from lessons taught down through the years No matter how you get there, it's worth every mile Better days are comin', Lord, just might take a while Before you find An open line I was in a tunnel with no light at the end Darkness closin' in, so close behind I know there's redemption, but it seems so hard to win Lord, help relieve this troubled mind Help me find an open line Help me find an open line
