Kiefer Sutherland - Down the Line Lyrics

The sun is setting on the river

And the last boat passes by

You can hear her crying in the back bedroom

She’s run out of try

He left her just three days ago

With his stories and his lies

And she never thought she’d be here

This far down the line

Chorus 1

Down the line, down the line

When you’re running out of time

Where did all the good men go

While you were running down the line

Down the line, down the line

Feeling left behind

Watching all your hopes and dreams

Fall right between the lines

Verse 2

No reason was given

No one left to fight

He stole away my years

And slipped off in the night

Staring in the mirror

At the failure of my life

I never thought I’d be here

This far down the line

Chorus 2

Down the line, down the line

When you’re running out of time

Where did all the good men go

While you were running down the line

Down the line, down the line

Feeling left behind

Watching all your hopes and dreams

Fall right between the lines

Verse 3

I could barely breathe

There was no hope in sight

When you’re down on your knees

It’s hard to face the fight

The tears start to fall

As I turn out the light

‘Cause I never thought I’d be here

This far down the line

Chorus 3

Down the line, down the line

When you’re running out of time

Where did all the good men go

While you were running down the line

Down the line, down the line

Feeling left behind

Watching all your hopes and dreams

Fall right between the lines

Verse 4

Hope ain’t just a word

It’s a state of mind

And from everything I’ve seen

You’re never… out of time

Chorus 4

So, hold the line, hold the line

You can do it one more time

Hold the line, hold the line

You ain’t been left behind

Just hold the line, hold the line

Trust your heart and you’ll find

You can stop your hopes and dreams

From falling through the lines, oh, come on
