The Straight and Narrow
I'm sure you've noticed throughout your life
There are definite rights and wrongs
As soon as you determine which is which
You'll be singing a happy song
It won't always hit you like a ton of bricks
When it does you surely will see
The error of your ways pretty damn quickly
As you face the third degree
When I was young and learning the ropes
It soon became obvious to me
You can't take things that aren't yours, my friends
It didn't take me long to see
So as of this day, my conscience is clear
Must say I've led a very clean life
Always travelled the straight and narrow
Listen up, it's very sound advice
