Sloshing through the gutters of my mind
Reminds me of the time
I bowled down the middle
And a tad to the right
Hit a strike almost every time
Finding pennies and sometimes dimes
Middle of the road sometimes
Volunteer your efforts
In not behooving to the choosing of a side
Y'all take the high rise
Y'all take the low rope
I'll see who makes it across
Before I decide
Y'all take the high rise
Y'all take the low rope
I'll see who makes it across
Before I decide
Dancing on the fence
Is not my final lament
It's a tried and true corner stone
To be burned alone for not believing
In buried long gone mass consent
The fiddler on your roof
Sees at large the full view
Ladder your division
Be versed in intention
Y'all take the high rise
Y'all take the low rope
I'll see who makes it across
Before I decide
Y'all take the high rise
Y'all take the low rope
I'll see who makes it across
Before I decide
Even when two oceans meet
There becomes a center
We're all a bunch of freeborn sinners
If none of us compete
We all will be new winners
Feel the finish
Y'all take the high rise
Y'all take the low rope
I'll see who makes it across
Before I decide
Y'all take the high rise
Y'all take the low rope
I'll see who makes it across
Before I decide
I'll see who makes it across
Before I decide
