Straight and Narrow
~~*~~
Sorry it went down the way it did.
We were like two opponents fighting in a ring.
If I could take back everything I said,
I would have listened instead.
Standing here I face my cross road
What direction will I go?
Some say there is no reason to change
others say it's the only way.
With the decision on my shoulders now.
I’m not so sure I have the strength it takes.
To live life on the straight and narrow.
After all these years will be tough,
But I have to start somewhere,
in order to get off.
