Standing at the gates of Heaven singing, "Why won't you let me in?" It's a long way from home and we'll never see home again We can ride the lightning 'til the good Lord lets us in Or we can ride into the sunset and never see home again So lift me up or get lost (Lift me up now) Time to get down, baby, I'm the boss (He's the boss) Put it in the back, girl, no cost And if all goes to hell, baby There's guns and money in the glove box I'm riding the line, baby Searching for sunshine all night I'm riding the line I'm riding the line Oh You wanna give up on me But you can't get caught for what you can't see Better believe I'm set free From the South Carolina PD And if all goes to hell, baby There's guns and money in the glove box I'm riding the line, baby Searching for sunshine all night I'm riding the line (Riding the line) Yeah, I'm riding the line (Riding the line) I'm riding the line, ooh (Riding the line)
