Down To The Wire

When it comes down to the wire

No one will help, every man for himself

When it comes down t the wire

You have to do what you can for yourself

There's a contract out on me

Now there's no safe place to be

I'm on the run all day and night

Laying low, staying out of sight

I'm not sure if I can take it

I don't know if I can make it

All the money in the world

Can't buy a true friend

When it comes down, down to the wire

When it comes down, down to the wire

I'm so tired, but I don't dare go to sleep

How did I get in so deep?

I learned something that I'd rather not know

Maybe I could make it down to mexico

I know way more than I'd like to admit

And they know I know, that's why the hit

It's the not knowing when that I really dread

They'll be after me until I'm dead

When it comes down to the wire

No one will help, every man for himself

When it comes down t the wire

You have to do what you can for yourself

Can't go to work, I can't go home

Gotta face it, I'm alone

Hiding behind every bush and tree

May be someone waiting for me

It could be someone that I know

Can't think of a worse way to go

Could even be a good friend they hire

When it comes down to the wire

When it comes down, down to the wire

When it comes down, down to the wire
