Tightrope Lyrics

You used to run the tables every Friday night
A just a good old boy doin' whatever he likes
You used to smoke like a freight train, drink like a fish
Aw, I never seen you walk a tightrope like this

Aw, but ever since you met that hot little thing
Boy, you just ain't quite been the same
She's got you by her side or she's got you on the phone
Askin' when you're gonna get your butt back home

Yeah, she's got you chewin' gum instead of smokin' smokes
Sippin' green tea instead of Jack and Coke
Talkin' Sunday church and only tellin' good clean jokes
She's got you walkin' a tightrope

We used to spend Saturdays out on the boat
Catch a beer buzz while the bobbers float
And, now, it's yard sales and "Honey, do"s all weekend
Instead of tailgates and football with your friends

Yeah, she's got you chewin' gum instead of smokin' smokes
Sippin' green tea instead of Jack and Coke
Talkin' Sunday church and only tellin' good clean jokes
She's got you walkin' a tightrope

You say you're feelin' better now that you're all cleaned up
You're even talkin' about tradin' in your pick-up truck

She's got you chewin' gum instead of smokin' smokes
Sippin' green tea instead of Jack and Coke
Talkin' Sunday church and only tellin' good clean jokes
She's got you walkin' a tightrope

She's got you walkin' a tightrope
She's got you walkin' a tightrope
She's got you walkin' a tightrope
