The Straight And Narrow
V1
I've always been a rebel
Never cared much for authority
If the playing field was level
I tipped it in a way that suited me
But this road I'm on is rocky
Getting steeper every minute as I climb
The lessons life has taught me
Have started to weigh heavy on my mind
Ch
Now I'll walk the straight and narrow every day and night
I'll keep listening for the echo of your voice to keep me right
Just like a soaring arrow I'll come out of the blue
I'll walk the straight and narrow ... all the way to you
V2
Now, I'm no social climber
But I've had my eye fixed on the prize
Then I saw something finer
And reached out for the chance to make you mine
I tried to be your hero
But couldn't make it past the right and wrong
Now I'm left with less than zero
As I try to find the strength to to carry on
Ch
Now I'll walk the straight and narrow every day and night
I'll keep listening for the echo of your voice to keep me right
Just like a soaring arrow I'll come out of the blue
I'll walk the straight and narrow ... all the way to you
INST.
