straight and narrow

Straight And Narrow

When there’s a storm ragin’ in your soul
You gotta thank God that you’re still growin’ old
If them demons you’re fightin’ won’t go away
Drop on your knees and pray

Life can get hard sometimes, I know
You gotta get up and walk the straight and narrow
When they’re chasin’ you down with an old bloodhound
And you’re runnin’ through the fields for your life
You gotta get up, son, I know they’re gunnin’ for ya

Don’t let the thoughts of yesterday
Crowd out the visions of today
Don’t let your past define your name
We will all be judged the same someday

Life can get hard sometimes, I know
You gotta get up and walk the straight and narrow
When they’re chasin’ you down with an old bloodhound
And you’re runnin’ through the fields for your life
You gotta get up, son, I know they’re gunnin’ for ya

When they’re chasin’ you down with an old bloodhound
And you’re runnin’ through the fields for your life
You gotta get up, son, I know they’re gunnin’ for ya
