Lyrics Howard Jones

Howard Jones

Straight Ahead

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

There's a cast of thousands here, livin' in my head,

All tryin' to talk at once, saying I'm better off better off,

As I tread the tightrope, between demons and saints,

They gather round, but I fix my gaze.

Straight ahead, through the storm,

Let it rage, let it pour down,

Straight ahead, somehow

I'll walk on, and I won't turn back now

OOH ooh ooh ooh ooh, OOH ooh ooh ooh ooh

OOH ooh ooh ooh ooh, OOH ooh ooh ooh ooh

Suzy works the night shift, and Johnny stays at home,

Three kids, and a lot of bills, wearin' hand-me-down clothes,

They might not have a lot, but at the end of the day

They're holdin' on, and they’re keepin' faith

Straight ahead, through the storm

Let it rage, let it pour down,

Straight ahead, somehow,

I'll walk on, and I won't turn back now

Each alone on winding roads, hopeful hearts will fight on

Straight ahead, through the storm

Let it rage, let it pour down,

Straight ahead, somehow

I'll walk on, and I won't turn back now

Straight ahead, through the storm

Let it rage, let it pour down,

Straight ahead, somehow

I'll walk on, and I won't turn back now

Ooh Ooh No I won’t turn back, Ooh Ooh No I won’t turn back

Ooh Ooh No I won’t turn back, Ooh Ooh No I won’t turn back

Ooh Ooh No I won’t turn back, Ooh Ooh No I won’t turn back

Ooh Ooh No I won’t turn back, Ooh Ooh No I won’t turn back

Straight ahead through the storm no I won’t turn back no I won’t turn back

Straight ahead through the storm no I won’t turn back no I won’t turn back
