A Song for Sunday - Tightrope · Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble

This was originally recorded on Stevie's last studio recording In Step, named for the 12 step AA program. Stevie was clean and sober for the last 4 years of his life and died in a tragic helicopter accident after playing a show with Eric Clapton and others. Here are the lyrics Caught up in a whirlwind, can't catch my breath Knee deep in hot water, broke out in cold sweat Can't catch a turtle, in this rat race Feels like I'm losing, at a breakneck pace Afraid of my own shadow, in the face of grace Heart full of darkness, spotlight on my face There was love all around me, but I was looking for revenge Thank God it never found me, would have been the end Walkin' the tight rope, steppin on my friends Walkin' the tight rope, was a shame and a sin Walkin' the tight rope, between wrong and right Walkin' the tight rope, both day and night Lookin' back in front of me, in the mirror's grin Through eyes of love I see, I'm really lookin at a friend We've had all our problems, that's the way life is My heart goes out to others, who are there to make amends Trying to make it right Every day and every night Bring it all around From the lost to found Stretched around the world Save the boys and girls Let's make it right Do it, do it tonight Walkin the tightrope
