Mary Wilson - Walk The Line lyrics

rate me

(Tena Clark/Dee Harvey)

All my life I've been told what I can and cannot do

But the world is turning

I've got some news for you

There's a strom a-raging

Directed by a higher power

There's a need for changing

We're coming to the final hour

When I speak my mind

and say I got a tip

Don't worry, be happy

I ain't gonna quit, no

[Chorus:]

Ain't gonna walk that line

No compromise

I've seen the truth (Hey, hey, hey!)

And the truth has cut me loose (Yes!)

Ain't gonna walk that line

No compromise

I've seen the truth and I've got nothing to lose

Oh, oh! Oh, oh...

You can lead a horse to water

But you cannot make him drink

You can show a man the writing

But you cannot make him think

Let my "yeses" be my yeses

My "nos" be my nos

I'm through stradling fences

I'm gonna carry my own load

It's so simple

Why can't they see

I'm no better than you

You're no better than me, oh, oh

Ain't gonna walk tat line

No compromise

I've seen the truth (Hey, hey, hey!)

And the truth has cut me loose (Yes!)

Ain't gonna walk that line

No compromise

I've seen the truth and I've got nothing to lose

I've gotta be free to think

Free to change

Free to know a better world's calling my name

Whoa, oh, oh! Oo!

I've got to be free to think

I've got to be free to think

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh...

Ain't gona walk that line

No compromise

I've seen the truth

And the truth has cut me loose

Ain't gonna walk that line

No compromise

I've seen the truth and I've got nothing to lose

[repeat Chorus with ad-libs 'til fade]
