Lyrics

STRAIGHT ON

Father had a dream, kept receding
Wanted to live at sea all his life
Worked a long time, held onto that feeling
Steady man, always did he abide

Many in those days said the same thing
Foolish dreams won’t help you get by
Never could agree with that reasoning
I remember the look in his blue eyes

[chorus]
Keepin’ it straight, keepin’ it straight on
Straight on down the road
Grab the steering wheel, look ahead
Feel it in my bones
Keepin’ it straight, keepin’ it straight on
Straight on down the road

Setting out to change the way I’m thinking
Years get shorter still, passing by
All that matters now is breathing
Leave those sticks and stones where they lie

[chorus]

[instrumental bridge]

Running through this maze, so deceiving
We all need just a little sign
It’s not true that seeing is believing
That’s the quickest way to end up blind

[chorus]
