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 had the brightest future
Writing songs on your computer
But you couldn't walk that 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 say 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 round 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 foundHey now what you doing (what you doing)
Don't go down the road to ruin
