Graham Nash - On The Line Lyrics

My poor 8--track tape of this album finally spit out a tangled string of co-mingled tape... played it much too much.... :( What a great, under rated and under played album.

I bought this on a single back in the seventies. A great song from a classic album.

Hanging around is holding me down
I'm starting to frown at everyone I see,
I'm taking the calls and playing the halls,
But staring at walls is all I ever see
So is the money I make
Worth the price that I pay?
Can I make it to the end of the line?
Don't the wind blow cold
When you're hanging your soul
On the line?
And you're driving to work
You're wearing your shirt
You're dialing the dirt
With everyone you see
You're taking a loss,
You envy the boss,
You're counting the cost
Of everything you see
But is the money you make
Worth the price that you pay?
Can you make it at the end of the line?
Don't the wind blow cold
When you're hanging your soul
On the line?
Oh, and you know that it's true
That I've watched you go far
Playing guitar
Being a star
For everyone to see
And I'm filming my dreams
From limousines
And thinking of scenes
For everyone to see
But is the money you make
Worth the price that you pay?
Can you make it at the end of the line?
Don't the wind blow cold
When you're hanging your soul
On the line?

Wild Tales was another great album I was so into his music at that time.

I really loved this album when it came out i wore it out but this is my favorite song!

Love it

One of my favorite albums. Great to hear it!

Dialing the dirt, anybody explain this expression?

I'm going to take a stab at what I believe it means. Put yourself in a wayback machine for a moment. It's the 70s. Phones had dials, so dialing a phone. I believe it is similar to dishing the dirt, meaning gossiping, but instead, dialing or calling someone and gossiping. Again, it's a stab. I was 13 when this album Wild Tales came out. It was so hot, but not mainstream.

rump...my vinyl still sounds great. got this album when it first came...LOVE THIS

Wild Tales, that was his best album. Funny, I just dug it out and listened to it a month ago.

LOL boy I'm tired I even replied to myself LOL that's a good one,
later

Just great (used to have this album)
Thx for sharing
