There I was sittin' pretty
Tryin' to make the show
Fifty miles from the city
Hittin' overload

Feelin' kinda greasy
We'd been runnin' all night
Broke down on the highway
Man we looked a fright

Six Strings, Nine Lives
I'm walkin' the wire tonight
Six Strings, Nine Lives
It's all just part of tryin' to survive

Someone get me somethin'
Cause I don't feel well
Last night was a heaven
But tomorrow is hell

Five hours to show time
I gotta get it together
Well I think I need my guitar
To make me feel better

Six Strings, Nine Lives
I'm walkin' the wire tonight
Six Strings, Nine Lives
It's all just part of tryin' to survive

Six Strings, Nine Lives
I'm walkin' the wire tonight
Six Strings, Nine Lives
It's all just part of tryin' to survive

When we hit the stage
Can't you feel the rage
The time is right
For good rockin' tonight

Six Strings, Nine Lives
I'm walkin' the wire tonight
Six Strings, Nine Lives
It's all just part of tryin' to survive

Six Strings, Nine Lives
I'm walkin' the wire tonight
Six Strings, Nine Lives
It's all just part of tryin' to survive
