Lyrics

Line In The Sand
Music & Lyrics by James Webb
© 2008 Son Of Jack WAM

V1
You take on too much.
Bets are down, ten to one,
You can’t keep it up.
You take on too much.
Heading for a breakdown if you,
Don’t give him up.
Life is not your own,
Everyone wants their part of you
They don’t know what it takes.
Now your man wants even more.
Whatever happened to “never again”?

Chorus
Draw a line in the sand.
Don’t be afraid, (2) Don’t be ashamed,
You can show your hand.
Go this far and no more.
You’ve got the power to say “no”,
To take a stand.
Draw a line, in the sand.

V2
You’ve got to let go.
The world can sort out
Its own overload
Just let it go.
No Juliet to some
Lost Romeo.
Life is not your own,
Everyone wants their part of you.
They don’t know what it takes.
Now your man wants even more.
Whatever happened to “never again”?
