Hey now, what you doing?
Don't go down the road to ruin
Look back at where you came from
Count to ten before you go wrongYou have the brightest future
Writing songs on your computer
But you couldn't walk the extra mile
And now your life is running wildYou've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in controlThe things you've said to me
What is it that your eyes see?
Is it love or is it hate?
Banging on an open gateHey now, who's that with you?
What's that thing I saw him give you?
Turn around, don't come no closer
You took it from my shoulder, holsterYou've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in controlYou've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in controlWhy don't you put that gun right down?
Before you kill the love you found
Hey now, what you doing?
Don't go down the road to ruin
