THE FIRING LINE
Words & Music by Richard X. Heyman, Copyright 2013

You don’t know what you’re getting into
You don’t know what you’re up against
I’ll spare you all the gory details
Til the time presents

Think you’re floating down a gentle jet stream
Think again, girl, cause you’ve got it all wrong
You’re crawling up against the tide
And the tide’s too strong

Don’t it seem, don’t it seem like it’s by design
Don’t it seem you’re a moving target on the firing line?

You think life is gonna be easy
Cause you’re young, girl, but soon you’ll be old
I’m just tryin’ to give you a heads up
Before it all takes hold

Look at me and you’ll see the future
Battle scarred all across my face
Now you don’t have to dig too deep
To see what’s taken place

Don’t it seem, don’t it seem like it’s by design
Don’t it seem you’re a moving target on the firing line?

You don’t know what you’re getting into
You don’t know what you’re up against
I’ll spare you all the gory details
Til the time presents

Don’t it seem, don’t it seem like it’s by design
Don’t it seem you’re a moving target on the firing line?
Don’t it seem, don’t it seem like it’s by design
Don’t it seem you’re a moving target on the firing line?
