When I was a young boy, climbing a tree
I was going high, feeling free
Out on a limb... I lost my grip
When I felt my hands, begin to slip
Then I got this thought...
For a second or two, my world stopped, and I knew
I was gonna fall hard, there was nothin' I could do
I was out on a limb
When I was a young man, with my steady girl
so free, no care in the world
We were out one night, I was kissin' her lip
when I felt my heart, begin to slip
Then I got this thought
For a second or two, my world stopped, and I knew
Falling hard, nothing much to do
Out on a limb
For a few, frozen seconds in time
You know your life, is on the line
Your helpless, and hopeless
To turn around
And ya see your world, come crashin' down
When we got married, raised a family
We where working hard, growin' our family tree
Drifted apart, broken hearts,
Patience wearing thin,
Out on a limb
When I felt our love begin to slip, it occured to me...
For a second or two, the world stopped, I knew
Fallin' hard, nothin' left to do
Out on a limb, with nothin' left to do
Out on a limb, out on a limb, out on limb
