on the wrong side of the law
doin' time 'cause i'm slow on the draw
when i got outta jail i found out
and i'm left with nowhere to stay
from lookin' straight ahead
the past ain't gonna drag me down
because i'm heading for my heyday
i'm lookin' straight ahead
the past ain't gonna drag me down
every time they spin the wheel
and the rest have to borrow and steal
how the dumb get to rule the whole world
where the facts are always fake
and the truth's gonna burn at the stake
from lookin' straight ahead
the past ain't gonna drag us down
because we're heading for our heyday
we're lookin' straight ahead
the past ain't gonna drag us down
from lookin' straight ahead
the past ain't gonna drag us down
because we're heading for our heyday
we're lookin' straight ahead
the past ain't gonna drag us down
