The Straight N' Narrow Lyrics - Singles - The Paper Trains

[Verse 1] 

Gonna cut my hair, gonna get that job, 

Wanna save myself some money. 

I'll be out in a week and it's you I seek, 

I'm gonna get you back my honey. 

You gave me up with nothing left to give, 

From behind the bars I cried. 

So please forgive me, 

I'm so sorry. 

I've learned my lesson, 

I gave confession. 

[Verse 2] 

I was on the straight when I met this man, 

He said he needed just a little hand. 

I could drive his car that it wouldn't be far, 

An easy job and don't misunderstand. 

But when I pulled in he asked me where I'd been, 

Losing time inside. 

It drew attention, 

Then apprehension. 

And there we were soon, 

Back in the courtroom. 

[Bridge] 

Back to where we started some time ago, 

With you and me separated by the walls and barbed wire. 

It's in my veins to be off those tracks of this I know, 

Only one wrong move, I put my fingers in the fire. 

[Verse 3] 

I was almost free you put your trust in me, 

And start a new life in the country. 

With our own front door I'd be good I swore, 

But then we started up the third war. 

He gave me no choice, I heard a small voice, 

Screaming out inside my head. 

Wrote you a letter, 

Said I'd be better. 

Give me your address, 

And your forgiveness.
