Dotted Line Video (MV)

I signed on the dotted line, many years ago
Static line in the Georgia sky, lookin out below
Fort Bragg in the summer time, now that's a heavy load
Blood sweat and tears in my eyes, I'm never goin home

Now I'm goin one mile, one step at a time
Till I make it on back to the other side
I got a sick joke for fools to the right and left of me
Now I got a fake smile, rain or shine
And I'll carry that weight till the end of time
And I'll be good god damned if it's ever gonna get the best of me

I paid to the piper man, I can feel it head to toe
God loves the workin man, I know I'm not alone
Long days in a foreign land, and I built myself a home
Good lovin' from a good woman, I couldn't ask for more

Now I'm goin one mile, one step at a time
Till I make it on back to the other side
I got a sick joke for fools to the right and left of me
Now I got a fake smile, rain or shine
And I'll carry that weight till the end of time
And I'll be good god damned if it's ever gonna get the best of me

Late nights, she's on my mind
I can't tell if I still got mine
But my brothers they know my pain
Any man is friend of mine, who paid that toll and served his time
Go and keep my tab when you bury me

Now I'm goin one mile, one step at a time
Till I make it on back to the other side
I got a sick joke for fools to the right and left of me
Now I got a fake smile, rain or shine
And I'll carry that weight till the end of time
And I'll be good god damned if it's ever gonna get the best of me
