lyrics

Straight & Narrow


Found a lot of pain in the county jail,
But he put it all behind him now
And he’s living on the straight and narrow
Love’s been good and love’s been bad
Now he’s flying true like an arrow,
Straight to the holy land

Heartbreaker, think you know the score
Break it down like a wrecking ball
Devastator, think you seen it all
But one day the rain’s gonna fall, down on you

Well you had love, call on you
When there was nothin’ good you could find to say or do
When you had love, walk out on you
You tried to start a war, with that black heart
You got beating inside of you, but it didn’t work.

Little hater, who ya gonna call?
When no-one wants you anymore
Guess you better run, a country mile
You can’t bring him down anymore

‘cause he’s living on the straight and narrow
Love’s been good and love’s been bad
Now he’s flying true like an arrow,
Straight to the holy land

Rpt/ solo/ chorus/ solo to end.
