I'm tugging on a rope that's centered
Somewhere near my heart
It's been moving me away for years
Away from where I start
But, there's one thing that keeps pulling me
In This tug of war in life,
It keeps me balanced, upright, strong
The love of my dear wife
There's things out there that challenge
Every thought we make
If you choose the wrong one
You can make a big mistake
Do you choose because it's safer
Or is the risk the one for you
Just don't do it blindly
You must think of what you do
There's two ways to do everything
sometimes even more
Sometimes you just ask yourself
What is this all for?
Is this the path that I should take
Does anybody know?
Or should I go the other route
The one that doesn't show
I'm tugging on a rope that's centered
Somewhere near my heart
It's been moving me away for years
Away from where I start
But, there's one thing that keeps pulling me
In This tug of war in life,
It keeps me balanced, upright, strong
The love of my dear wife
Life is just a tug of war
of many different things
You just pull back and then you hope
you've pulled on the right strings
Children, jobs, emotions, love
All tugging back themselves
Which ones do you pull back on
Or put back upon the shelves
To keep on board this rocking ship
You make your choice and tug
It may just be the wrong one
So, you just stand back and shrug
You work on through, evaluate
You pull the rope again
You don't just stand and lose it all
You get back up again.
I'm tugging on a rope that's centered
Somewhere near my heart
It's been moving me away for years
Away from where I start
But, there's one thing that keeps pulling me
In This tug of war in life,
It keeps me balanced, upright, strong
The love of my dear wife
You work your way to center
Where you were right at the start
You make this trip together
don't upset the apple cart
A bit one side or the other
Means life's a succcess
For too far either side can be
One god awful mess
I'm tugging on a rope that's centered
Somewhere near my heart
It's been moving me away for years
Away from where I start
But, there's one thing that keeps pulling me
In This tug of war in life,
It keeps me balanced, upright, strong
The love of my dear wife
If you get back to the middle
And you both enjoyed the fight
Then you know you are unstoppable
And that you've got it right
A team that know the ins and outs
Two partners through and through
A team that stays on center
A team like me and you
I'm tugging on a rope that's centered
Somewhere near my heart
It's been moving me away for years
Away from where I start
But, there's one thing that keeps pulling me
In This tug of war in life,
