Lyrics

The Broken Line
By Renée Harcourt, Billy Lee Lewis and B.Z. Lewis

Took a little road trip down to L.A.
Saw a lot of people they were very gourmet
Being on the road always opens my mind
To the meaning of life and the passing time
I'm a sister and a daughter, I'm a mother and a lover
We set our sights high not to fail one another
The older I get, the smaller I seem
And the harder it seems just to catch the dream
Can't say I'm happy, can't say I'm not
Got everything I need but the passion is gone
And in some little way I'm paying the price
Some little parts been sacrificed

BRIDGE
The sky's so wide and the road's so long
The broken line goes on and on

CHORUS
You don't want to be my vison, I can't be your dream
We always end up saying sorry things that we don't mean
We gotta make our own rules, live a new life
Ride off in the sunset and let the white flag fly

Down around sunset and 101
I met a young woman and I mean young
Causes, fights, and concerns like mad
And the energy to change a world gone bad
I felt so old as I listened to her talk
She reminded me of me and how I used to walk
For a cause or a cure, but I've been beaten down
It's all I can do just to get off the ground
And I think about us and everything we've got
Wonder if we'll make it and I watch the pot
Wiser, yea I got nothing to say
Smarter yea, I know less every day
