Allman Brothers Band, The - Firing Line Lyrics






Known you since you've been born
Raisin' hell even as a child
Nothing's changed since that day
You're still out running wild
Hellhound on your trail
Gettin' closer with every passing mile

Hey now baby,
Don't you think it's high time
To change your life's direction
Get off the firing line

Well your luck just ain't been running
Lord, very smooth these days
I think it's finally come down
You're gonna have to mend your ways
With your head up in the clouds
You cannot see through the haze

Hey now sweet baby,
Don't you think it's high time
To change your life's direction
Get off the firing line

Step outside, take a look aroud
Do you see anyone who cares?
Spent your whole life steppin' on your friends
Still you ain't nowhere

Search for a new direction
But the past is all you'll find
You can count up all your mistakes
Blame it on your criminal mind
When you lay down with snakes
You come up poisoned every time

Hey now baby,
Don't you think it's high time
To change your life's direction
Get off the firing line
Get off the firing line
Get off the firing line

Allman Brothers Band, The Firing Line Comments
  1. J.... P....

    Awsome music, one of the best rock and blues band ever. We use to say in Portugal that such guys are just like Port Wine, they improve as they get old.

  2. E.... N....

    That dual drum sound is funky" as shit!

  3. E.... N....

    Whose playing slide guitar on this?Warren Hayes? Dickie.Leavell?

    E.... N....

    Probably both Warren and Derek. Usually mainly Derek. Chuck Levell is a keyboard player.

  4. E.... B....

    The greatest band that ever graced a stage.

  14. h.... ....

    Greg's voice is perfect in this song...

  15. R.... B....

    I would love to see The Allman Brothers release another album or two or three. However if they never did Hittin The Note is an excellent swan song this album holds up very well to their earlier stuff. The writing is great so is the playing and Gregg's vocals i havent looked at the credits but i think there are only two cover songs 1. Woman Across The River & 2. Heart Of Stone both covers are excellent. Seven Turns from 1990 and Shades Of Worlds from 1991 are great as well. ROCK ON

  16. R.... L....

    All Hail: GREG ALLMAN !!!

  17. G.... S....

    OH Yea .... My Baby child ....!! (SwampFox) <3

  18. N.... d....

  20. A.... ....

    @jeffbeck70 all the songs are on the dvd Peakin at the Beacon! Fantastic!

  21. p.... ....

    @absurd64 Yeah...not quite sure I even wrote that comment. It doesn't even seem like something I would normally say about people's music taste. So yes, you can have some respect and my apologies for the comment.

  22. B.... D....

    @polytie I like both dude.. Can I get some respect?

  23. s.... ....

    Phenomenal album. Too bad it went out of print so fast. It's the only Allman Brothers album with Derek Trucks on it, & without Dickie Betts on it. Warren Haynes is beyond incredible!

  24. p.... ....

    @Saphris I suppose, all I know is I have a friend who found a random website where he was able to create music like they have today and within about five minutes he able to make something that anyone who was in today's music business could've sold easily, and doesn't even know anything about music but was able to make it. I just find it hard to respect that kind of music when literally anyone can do it.

  25. S.... ....

    @polytie no such thing as fake music friend. all a matter of opinion and personal taste

  26. A.... Q....

    Some generic comment about my age and/or Lady Beiber or something another, concluded by how much I really like this song. Seriously though, great song, awesome band.

  27. i.... ....

    Awesome song! Warren Haynes rocks the shit out of it!

  28. J.... ....

    @polytie It's their loss!
