Brooks & Dunn

Tight Rope is the sixth studio album by country duo Brooks & Dunn, released in 1999 on Arista Nashville. Their least successful album commercially, it was the first album of their career not to receive platinum certification from the RIAA; furthermore, only one of its three singles reached Top Ten on the country charts. The album's lead-off single was a cover of John Waite's 1984 single "Missing You". This cover peaked at #15 on the Hot Country Songs charts. Following it were the #19 "Beer Thirty" and the #5 "You'll Always Be Loved by Me". "Goin' Under Gettin' Over You" also reached #60 from unsolicited play as an album cut.

Ridin' on a hurt train, making tracksRidin' on a hurt train, there ain't no turnin' backI'm out here on a hurt train, the moanin' of the railsSeems like a sad song, last call farewellA hundred tons of cold steel rustin' in the rainThe singin' of the rollin' wheels are callin' out her nameThe whistle keeps blowin' that high lonesome soundIt tells me where I'm goin' is gonna be a long way downRidin' on a hurt train, making tracksRidin' on a hurt train, there ain't no turnin' backI'm out here on a hurt train, the moanin' of the railsSeems like a sad song, last call farewellNow here I sit loaded wondering what went wrongThe whiskey I can hold it, I just don't know how longA hundred tons of cold steel rustin' in the rainThe singin' of the rollin' wheels are callin' out her nameRidin' on a hurt train, making tracksRidin' on a hurt train, there ain't no turnin' backI'm out here on a hurt train, the moanin' of the railsSeems like a sad song, last call farewellAin't no turnin' backNo turnin' back, no turning backOh, I'm gonna miss you baby please

the most well written song by Brooks and Dunn....the lyrics are absolutely a story of unrequited love....beautiful song with just enough soul mixed with country, sounds like something the late great Ray Charles would sing.... my fave of all B & D's music although it was never really a big hit...maybe I relate to the words so very much

I think this is a great song. My two other favorites from this album are You'll Always Be Loved By Me and Missing You, but the whole album is great. Too bad it didn't get the recognition it deserved.
