Lyrics Billy Squier

Billy Squier

Tryin' To Walk A Straight Line

Are you lookin' for adventure...are you lookin' at me

Are you gettin' enough...do you wanna break free

Look over your shoulder...you're one step older

Now I said to myself "Self, there must be more than this"

I wanna know...I gotta step back from the fast-track heart-attack

Can you stand up tall...you know it's not an easy thing

Tryin' to walk a straight line

Would you get up and fight when it all goes south

Would you dare to be right in the shadow of doubt

Resist temptation...ya face the nation

When you know what you know...can you still say 'no'

C'mon...gotta get smart--make a new start--do your part

Turn it inside out...no it's not an easy thing

Tryin' to walk a straight line...try to be good to me

See the future walk past...now she's too daze gone

And the first will be last (lookout)...sing that same sad song

Behave your voice...behave your ass

Get into your cult...be good to yourself

Turn it inside out...you know it's not an easy thing

Tryin' to walk a straight line
