The Last Line

[Verse 1] Well my store sits on a blacktop river, where the lost and wicked flow I used to have a smile for everyone, but that was long ago. I've seen the world turn ugly, seen the kindness drain away Now I don't see friendly faces, just the ones that make me pray. (Yeah...) [Chorus] I ain't looking for no trouble, but trouble knows my name! (Oh, trouble knows my name!) You come in here with your disrespect, you're playin' with the flame! (Playin' with the flame!) My patience is a memory, a relic from the past The first line is the last line, and I'm makin' sure it lasts! (Yeah! You know he does!) [Verse 2] I remember simple times, a handshake was your bond Now every shadow in the doorframe has a lesson to be taught. I keep my peace right by my side, I don't like how it feels But a man's got to hold his ground, this ain't no fantasy, for real. [Chorus] I ain't looking for no trouble, but trouble knows my name! (Trouble knows his name!) You come in here with your disrespect, you're playin' with the flame! (You're playin' with the fire, man!) My patience is a memory, a relic from the past The first line is the last line, and I'm makin' sure it lasts! (Oh yeah! Make it last!) [Bridge] You see... a quiet man... can only bend so far. (Tell 'em!) Before the weight of all the wrong... just tells you who you are. (Who you are!) I lost my patience long ago... down this lonely, dusty road. So save your breath... and heed the sign... and lighten up your load. (Yeah!) [Outro] The first line... is the LAST LINE! (Scream it!) You play with fire... YOU GET BURNED! (Oh! Watch out now!) Ain't no more talkin'! (Ain't no more!) Ain't no more foolin'! (No, no, no!) My ground... MY GROUND! (It's his ground!)
