Ten Feet From The Ledge

There are those

Who must go out in a blaze of glory

But I’m here to tell you

My life has been a different story

 

There are those

Who live life on the edge

Me, I’m fine right here

Ten feet from the ledge

 

Yeah, I’ve seen some bumps in the road

But I like life among the living

Still got much more left in me

So much left for giving

 

I know I’ve got a date

With the other side

No need to rush it

With a hell raising ride

 

Now you can say I’m boring

Even call me scared

That don’t bother me

One slip and you’ll be grabbing at air

 

I’ll still be here

Giving life my best

Respecting God given life

With flyin’ colors I’ll pass that test
