Album: Real Men Cry
Darling, don't you shed one tear for me
If I want to be the hero I was meant to be
And if I'm treading in deep water
Getting blinded by the sun
Could be I'm dancing to the rhythm of a different drum
I could stand out in the open 'neath the thunder and rain
Buy a one-way ticket on a runaway train
Try hanging by my fingers off a mountainside
Take a wicked little tumble down a slip and slide
It's gonna be a wild ride tonight
Well darling, it's fine if you pray for me
But I'll be seeing all the places that I wanted to see
I might be playing all the numbers and rolling out the dice
Just might do a little two-step 'cross some pretty thin ice
'Cos I got my own demons and some fears to face
And it's time I got acquainted with my measure of faith
Admit to a few things that I always denied
Taste some dangerous dishes that I never tried
Darling, it's a wonder you can still love me
Even when I'm adding to your misery
But it's time for a good game like that Russian Roulette
A high-wire act without a safety net
I might pick me a fight down there in Mexico
Put my foot in my mouth while digging my own hole
Order humble pie and then swallow my pride
Don't need to be afraid if the Lord's my guide
