I’m on a direct line
Feelin’ fine
It’s been a long time comin’
Came just in time

Used to be, I stayed on the run
Sharp-shootin’ son of a gun
Never needed anything
Silk shirt or a diamond ring
Out of work and out of time
Sliding into trouble and slipping out of line
Living off of charity
Just it’s always good, good to be free

On a direct line
Feelin’ fine
It’s been a long time comin’
Came just in time

Could have been a family man
Clean cut social fan
But what’s the use in headin’ on
To some thing that is totally wrong
Didn’t want security
Sliding into morals and slipping out of key
Give me a chance so I can find
Just what is waiting at the end of the line

On a direct line
Feelin’ fine
It’s been a long time comin’
Came just in time

I’m on a direct line
Feelin’ fine
It’s been a long time comin’
Came just in time

Direct line
Feelin’ fine
It’s been a long time comin’
I’m on a direct line
