Down the Line by Fred Eaglesmith
[Verse]
I Ahad me a woman and she treated me fine
She Dwasn't perdy but she was mine
ANow she's Egone on down the Aline
[Verse]
ASaid she wasn't happy, no fault of mine
DShe was just lookin' for easier times
ANow she's Egone on down the Aline
[Chorus]
ADown the line, down the line
DListen to the highway whine
ASeems they Eall go down the Aline
[Verse]
AOld friend John he used to come by
With Dliquor in his pocket and trouble in his eye
ANow he's Egone on down the Aline
[Verse]
AOne for him and one for me
DOne for a dollar and one for free
ANow he's Egone on down the Aline
[Chorus]
ADown the line, down the line
DListen to the highway whine
ASeems they Eall go down the Aline
[Break]

[Verse]
AOne of these days they'll set the sun
They'll Dturn around and I'll be done
AJesus Etake me down the lAine
[Verse]
AShake my hand, hold me close
DSing a song well we all know
AJesus Etake me down the lAine
[Chorus]
ADown the line, down the line
DListen to the highway whine
ASeems they Eall go down the Aline
[Verse]
I Ahad me a woman and she treated me fine
She Dwasn't perdy but she was mine
ANow she's Egone on down the Aline
