in these wide open spaces there's no where to hide if I could find me tin can, i'd crawl right up inside i'm driving as far and as fast as I can but there ain't no fox hole in this god forsaken land chorus : when you're straddling the abyss fearing your fall people will stare and you don't care at all you've got a quarter no one to call there's no elbow room you're straddling the abyss fearing your fall people will stare and you don't care at all you've got a quarter no one to call there's no elbow room behind the eight ball a weight comes down to snuff out my lights i'm walking a tight rope and i'm scared of heights my backs to the wal truth is sharp as a knife
but I ain't quite ready to cough up my life when you're straddling the abyss fearing your fall people will stare and you don't care at all you've got a quarter no one to call there's no elbow room you're straddling the abyss fearing your fall people will stare and you don't care at all you've got a quarter no one to call there's no elbow room behind the eight ball when you're straddling the abyss fearing your fall people will stare and you don't care at all you've got a quarter no one to call there's no elbow room chorus there's no elbow room behind the eight ball no elbow room behind the eight ball no elbow room beind the eight ball
