Hello my old friend, I can see your feelin' blue.
     Got a story bout' a place in time,
          when I was feelin' just like you.
The simple answer to the reason, for the way you both behave.
     Is the difference in the body parts
          that the world tells you to shave.
Well I guess then that's the answer baby,
     To which came first, the chicken or the egg?

     I've had life on the line.
     Gonna' lay it down one more time for you.
     I've had life on the line.
     Gonna' lay it down one more time for you.

It's gonna' be hard to get a handle,
     On your trouble and your strife.
          With both arms in a straight jacket,
                And screemin' for my life.
As a young man I was truthful,
     Bout' what I was lookin' for,
          An honest kind and gentle, loving,
                No good virgin whore.
Well I guess I should be happy now,
     She gave me half of what I asked life for.

     I've had life on the line.
     Gonna' lay it down one more time for you.

      Gonna' lay it down just one more time for you.
