[Verse 1]
Bus line down the center line
Took me from the dotted lines
That bore my name
Rollin' 'cross the borderlines
Lookin' for a peace of mind
That never came

[Chorus]
And now I must stand free
But there's nobody here but me
To fill my bed
I wish that I had read
Between the lines

[Verse 2]
Breadlines and the cheap wines
They're the only lifelines
That I have left
No more debts to pay back
'Cause I can't find the way back
To save myself

[Chorus]
And now I must stand free
But there's nobody here but me
Lord, I'm strung out
Soakin' wet and hung out
On the lines
[Chorus]
And now I must stand free
But there's nobody here but me
To fill my bed
I wish that I had read
Between the lines
