Lyrics Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings

Too Close to Call

I have battled with the demons for my soul

Like a soldier unafraid, stood straight and tall

With strong convictions fought for what I thought was right and wrong

But I wonder when it stands in judgement hall

Will it go down as one too close to call

I have faced that cunning ennemy called time

For awhile I held him cold and to a draw

As he rode away he said another place and day

'Cause you can't erase the writing on the wall

Although this one was just too close to call

As I wrestled with my deepest fear in life

I was captured by the shadows on the wall

I was brave but just the same, I was glad when morning came

Because now and then the footsteps in the hall

Remind me it was just too close to call

I have watched my mind dance too close to the edge

As I stood among the crowd to see it fall

Sometimes now I cling to what I hope is sanity

I stagger on this fine like that I walk

And wonder is it just too close to call
