    Thanks to Natalie at

    (hard country music),
    for just now playing
    A Fine Line, by Radney Foster:


    There's a curve in the highway, just south of town

    where a man has pulled over to figure life out

    with only his concience and the lonesome sound

    of diesels winding up grade

    he's got a wife and two kids, and they love him so

    he's got a woman down in georgia,
       and she's startin' to show

    he's damned if he leaves her,
       and he's sure damned if he don't

    and he wonders how life got this way

    cuase it's a fine line in between right and wrong

    yea he's been crossing over that border
       way too long

    he should've seen it coming at him
       right from the start

    now there aint' no escape from a broken heart

    now the call of the highway is a powerful thing

    like the pull of a lover, or a child in a swing

    gave his heart to two women
       only one wears his ring

    they're both gonna have his babies now

    so how do you confess,
       what words don't explain

    he never intended to cause this much pain

    now he feels like a farmer
       who went praying for the rain

    got more than he bargained from the clouds

    [chorus]

    he'll turn his car around tonight,
       go home and try to face the truth

    everyone involved's getting hurt,
       now there aint nothing he can do

    [chorus]

    Wind and thunder:
    the image of Increase.

    Thus the superior man:
    If he sees good,
    he imitates it;

    If he has faults,
    he rids himself of them.
