    Jerry Jeff 
    Walker 

    Layin' 
    my 
    life 
    on 
    the 
    line, 

    that's 
    what 
    I 
    do 
    all 
    the time 

    Well I 
    find 
    myself 
    each 
    night, 

    facing 
    a 
    white 
    light 

    Layin' 
    my 
    life 
    on 
    the 
    line 


    Verse 2
    Driving 
    the 
    road 
    here 
    to
    night, 

    my 
    thoughts 
    were 
    of 
    Susan 
    and 
    I 

    Now 
    her 
    love 
    sustained 
    me, 

    the 
    road 
    almost 
    claimed 
    me 

    They're 
    laying 
    my 
    life 
    out 
    in 
    a 

    Interlude 1
    line 


    Verse 3
    Traveling 
    is 
    my 
    way 
    of 
    life, 

    and 
    so 
    it 
    gets 
    crazy 
    some
    times 

    Well 
    it 
    takes 
    me places, 

    where 
    I 
    see 
    the 
    faces 

    Of 
    people 
    I 
    touched 
    with 
    my 
    lines 

    Verse 4

    Bridge: 

    Sometimes 
    it 
    all 
    feels 
    so 
    right, 

    sometimes 
    I 
    just 
    feel 
    far 
    from 
    home 

    Sometimes 
    I 
    wonder
    , 

    am I 
    just 
    stumbling 
    through 
    here 

    Have 
    been 
    on 
    this 
    road 
    for 
    too 
    long 

    Verse 5

    But 
    here 
    I 
    am 
    out 
    here 
    tonight, 

    play
    ing 
    the songs 
    that 
    I 
    like 

    Cause the 
    magic 
    is 
    bring
    ing, 

    each 
    song 
    you're 
    singing 

    Your 
    whole 
    life's 
    laid 
    out 
    in 
    lines 



    Well 
    I'm 
    laying 
    my 
    life 
    on 
    the 
    line

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
