There's a path stretches before her
And it's as fragile as it is long
And the line that the path follows
Is not a straight forward one
It dips and it wiggles
Sometimes it climbs
Far too close to the sun
But I - I keep that path under my feet
Cause I know it's the only one
And we escaped from that fancy often
But they're now just distant stains
There's guys in this town
That have fallen down
And never found their feet again
They made their woman cry
One to many times
She's keepin' some other fellow on tonight
But I - I keep that path under my feet
I keep my eyes on that line
And when old friends come calling
And we hang around for a while
It's not a question of falling
They're just important people in my life
They get that look in their eye
That says let's go too far
And those tend to find my car
And get back to my baby's arms
And keep my eyes on that line
Yeah I - I keep that path under my feet
I keep my eyes on that line
(Bridge)

Cause I know it's the only one
Yeah I - I keep that path under my feet
Cause I know it's the only one
Yeah I - I keep that path under my feet
Cause I know it's the only one
