Straight Ahead Songtext

von Jon English

I've been hiding in here for twenty-one years and I'm ready
I got a body full of rhythm and an ocean full of living to do-oo-oo
I've got my sights held high, there's an apple in the sky
And plenty more burning in my head
Nothing gonna stop me 'cause I'm heading straight ahead

I've got my finger on the trigger, I guess I didn't figure on a lot of things
But then I really learned my lesson, really stopped messin' around
I've got an itch inside, tellin' me it's time for action, yeah
Nothing gonna stop me 'cause I'm heading straight ahead
Nothing gonna stop me now

I said Ooh, I wonder where I've ever bee-ee-een
I said Ooh-ooh, what could go wro-o-o-ong
Well I don't care where I'm goin', I don't care where I've bee-een
I only know there's too many places I ain't never see-een
So look out world

I'm all fired up, sick and tired of dreamin'
Well I might be lonely but at least I'm gonna be free-ee
They just smile, they nod and laugh
They never listen to a single word I said
But nothing gonna stop me 'cause I'm heading straight ahead
And nothing gonna stop me now, I'm heading out, ooh-ooh

Nothing gonna stop me now-ow, I'm heading ou-ou-ou-ou-out
O-o-one voice in the crowd when you all shout out lou-oud
One star in a million stars above, nothing gonna stop me now-ow
One smile in a laugh, one drop in the bath, one ma-an, lookin' for lo-ove
It's just one boy-oy, on his ow-ow-own for the first time alo-one
One tear-ear in a million tears been shed
One drop in the sea, so tell me who'll cry for me-ee
Who'll remember, when I-I'm dead

Oh-oh, nothing gonna stop me now-ow, nothing gonna stop me, ooh-ooh
I'm heading out, and straight ahead
Ain't nothing gonna stop me, I-I'm straight ahead

So come tomorrow morning, forget about the warning, I'm leavi-in'
There's a whole wide world out there waitin' for me-ee
I might stumble and fall but I'll still have a ball
If you must stay careful when I tread
Doesn't really matter when you're heading straight ahead, boy
Oh, doesn't really matter when you're heading straight ahead
If there was one voice in a crow-ow-owd when all shout out loud
Nothing gonna stop me, I'm heading straight ahead
Nothing gonna stop me, ooh-ooh, Look out
