Standing in the Line of Fire
[Verse 1: Gary U.S. Bonds & The American Men]
Tried my best, babe
Gave all that I had inside (I had inside)
Now I’m standing in the shadow
The place were dreams become a lie (Dreams become a lie)
For just one moment, baby
I had it all in my hand (All in my hand)
[Pre-Chorus: Gary U.S. Bonds]
I think it’s time I discovered
Just what’s left of this man
[Chorus: Gary U.S. Bonds & The American Men]
Baby I’m
Standin’ in the line of fire
I ain’t runnin’ from the fight this time (I ain’t runnin’ away, babe!)
Standin’ in the line of fire (No, no, baby!)
Ain't nothin’ gonna change my mind
[Verse 2: Gary U.S. Bonds & The American Men]
Slowly I
Find that my friends are all gone (Friends are all gone)
Feels like I’m starting all over
And it hurts after workin’ so long (Workin’ so long)
Lookin’ at your face, babe
Makes me think about everything I wanted (Everything I wanted)
[Pre-Chorus: Gary U.S. Bonds]
It’s something I can’t get used to
I wanted it so badly for you
[Chorus: Gary U.S. Bonds & The American Men]
So baby, I’m
Standin’ in the line of fire (Yah-ee-ah-ee-ah)
I ain’t runnin’ from the fight this time (This time!)
Standin’ in the line of fire (Standing! standing!)
Ain't nothin’ gonna change my mind (Oh no!)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Gary U.S. Bonds & The American Men]
Hold me, girl
A little bit tighter now
Maybe if we try together, baby
We can get off this merry-go-round (This merry-go-round)
I’ve learned something, baby
What a lucky man I am (Lucky man I am)
[Pre-Chorus: Gary U.S. Bonds]
There’ll be good times, there’ll be bad times
You count your friends on one hand
[Chorus: Gary U.S. Bonds & The American Men]
Baby I’m
Standin’ in the line of fire
I ain’t runnin’ from the fight this time (Ay-oh! Ay-oh!)
Standin’ in the line of fire (Oh, girl!)
Ain't nothin’ gonna change my mind (Standing! standing!) (Baby!)
Standin’ in the line of fire
I ain’t runnin’ from the fight this time (I ain’t runnin’ no more!)
Standin’ in the line of fire
Ain't nothin’ gonna change my mind (Standing! standing!) (No, no more!)
Standin’ in the line of fire (No, woo!)
I ain’t runnin’ from the fight this time (I ain’t runnin’ no more, baby!)
Standin’ in the line of fire
Ain't nothin’ gonna change my mind (Standing! Standing!)
Standin’ in the line of fire (Woo!)
I ain’t runnin’ from the fight this time (Standing! Standing!)
Standin’ in the line of fire (Alright!)
Ain't nothin’ gonna change my mind (Standing! Standing!)
Standin’ in the line of fire (Woo!)
