Lyrics

When I play the guitar, I like to play it loud
Because I thought that it might make my mom and daddy proud
It didn’t matter if the song was fast or slow
My daddy sat me down one day
Said son, you know I really like the music that you play
But listen up boy - there is something you should know
Lots of folks round here see things a different way
And I’m afraid you’ve gotta make a choice
You’re gonna have to quit or learn to turn it down
Cause they’re complaining bout the noise.

He said It’s a fine fine line
Between a hero and a villain
It’s a fine fine line
Between a sinner and a saint
Your mama always taught you to know wrong from right
But the difference isn’t always just like black or white
And the line between the two
Is often really faint

There’s a fine line between freedom and selfishness
There’s a fine line between wisdom and fear
There’s a fine line between a Christian and a hypocrite.
Sometimes it’s hard to find the right side of the line
Sometimes the difference isn’t clear
It can be a fine line between a champion and second place
Sometimes it’s a fine line between who won or lost the fight
There’s a fine line that separates the darkness
From the coming of the long-expected light

It’s a fine fine line
Between a hero and a villain
It’s a fine fine line
Between a sinner and a saint
Your mama always taught you to know wrong from right
But the difference isn’t always just like black or it white
Nobody walks the line
You’re on the right side or you ain’t.

It’s a fine line between a immigrant and citizen
It’s a fine line between the young and old
It can be a fine line between a rich man and a poor man
It’s a fine line that makes some people warm and others cold
And Dad said son, I give you this advice:
The world will try to judge you by your wealth
But you’ll always be on the right side of the line
By putting others before yourself.

It’s a fine fine line
Between a hero and a villain
It’s a fine fine line
Between a sinner and a saint
Your mama always taught you to know wrong from right
But the difference isn’t always just like black or white
And the line between the two
Is often really faint
And you’re either on the right side or you ain’t.
