It only comes out in the night time
When the whiskey and the red wine
I get a little at an other
So many things I want to smother
And then I think about my mother
Breaking her heart makes me choke
Feels like I'm walking on a tightrope
Lord, help me through the unknown
Catching smoke with a lasso
I'm just trying not to let go
Hanging on to my last hope
Against the pulling of a black hole
I just wanna be a good man
I just want to be a good friend
Lord, I'm doing the best I can
Feels like I'm barely getting by
I hope you know I love you
I hope you'll always love me too
I've done the best that I know how to do
I pray I get there with some time
Feels like I'm walking on a tightrope
Lord, help me through the unknown
Catching smoke with a lasso
I'm just trying not to let go
Hangin' on to my last hope
It's a pullin' of a black hole
It comes and goes and waits
Baptized by fire, lived by the gun
Hung out to dry, washed by the blood
End of the line, I got nowhere
Feels like I'm walking on a tightrope
Lord, help me through the unknown
Catching smoke with a lasso
hangin' on to my last hope
Guess I'm pullin' up a black hole,
it comes an d goes in waves
