The 77s
Bottom Line (Live at Echoes of Faith, 11/28/92)
[Verse 1]
I'm getting tired of walking up every floor
I'm getting tired of waking up anymore
But there's a hope now, and there wasn't before

[Verse 2]
I got no money, and I've got no time
I fall down every mountain I try to climb
But peace of heart is better than peace of mind

[Chorus]
I've got a bottom line, oh, yeah
I've got a bottom line, oh, yeah
Thank God I've got a bottom line, oh no

[Verse 3]
You take one look at me, and you wanna walk
'Cause there's no good in me, and I shouldn't talk
But I've got everything or nothing at all

[Verse 4]
I wasn't looking for what it was I found
Myself standing on some holy ground
I couldn't stand it, and I had to sit down

[Bridge]
Wanted the impossible
(Gonna live forever)
Looked for the impossible
(I got someone to love me forever)
The impossible found me first
(Peace of heart is better than peace of mind)
[Chorus]
I've got a bottom line, oh, yeah
I've got a bottom line, oh, yeah
I've got a bottom line, oh no

[Bridge]
Wanted the impossible
(I'm gonna live forever)
Looked for the impossible
(I've got someone to love me forever)
The impossible found me first
(Peace of heart is better than peace of mind)
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
Thank God I've got a bottom line, oh, yeah
I've got a bottom line, oh, yeah
(Thank God)
I've got a bottom line, oh, yeah
I've got a bottom line, oh, yeah
(Thank God)
I've got a bottom line, oh, yeah

[Outro]
I've got a bottom line, oh
I've got a bottom line, oh, yeah
I've got a bottom line, oh, yeah
I've got a bottom line, oh, yeah
[Spoken Outro: Michael Roe]
All right. Thanks. We're gonna go all the way back to the beginning. This is the first song you heard the first time you dropped the needle on--gosh, I'm dating myself already. Does anybody remember vinyl records? In those old, old days, you took this piece of plastic out and watched it spin and dropped this diamond on it. This is what came out the first time you picked up one of our little discs, okay?
