You can slam the door and walk from here to Georgia
You can burn old friends 'til one by one they fall
You can spend your last thin dime
Tryin' to make yourself feel fine
You can cry through every story
But I've heard them all
Oh, when no one's sleeping in your empty bedroom
And the clock is ticking down the darkened hall
You can say you've always been blue
But I know that just ain't true
But when you're walking on a tightrope
I won't let you fall
When you're walking on a tightrope
Baby, I won't let you fall
You may have never loved me like you ought to
You may have hung up every time I called
You can walk from here to Georgia
But just don't slam the door
'Cause when you're walking on a tightrope
I won't let you fall
When you're walking on that tightrope
When you're walking on a tightrope
Baby, I won't let you fall
