strait old line

don't look to the left

don't look to the right

just follow that strait old line. this could be heaven

or this could be hell

life could be falling down a bottomless well

i stumble to the left

i stumble to the right

i fumble for the switch

of a disconnected light

stay with it

don't let temptation be your load

stay with it

but there are bandits on the road

don't look to the left

don't look to the right

just follow that strait old line

don't look to the left

don't look to the right

just follow that strait old line

the road of ambition

it's a casualty trail

press gangs wait to ambush

the weak and weary

i had to explore the light and dark

to see the sharp and flat

there's a hundred or more good reasons

not to ever turn your back

don't look to the left

don't look to the right

just follow that strait old line

don't look to the left

don't look to the right

just follow that strait old line

take it eddie!

don't look to the left

don't look to the right

just follow that strait old line

don't look to the left

don't look to the right

just follow that strait old line
