Straight And Steady Lyrics

Wheeler Brothers Straight And Steady

It was cold room filled with smoke
And I was feeling slow from the night before
But I stood straight and steady mind at ease
I was ready for the next move
Oh how your keys they open doors
To rooms and names you've know before
Not getting better hold your breath
I'll write you letters from the road
I tried I tried to plant my feet
Its hard to sing through gritted teeth
In the same key ive been thinking
You'll just maybe cut me loose
I tried I tried to stay the course
Racked my brain and got so bored
I had a mortgage and a job
I wiped the windows and mowed the lawn
OH's
Well I was told by those who knew me most
That I was looking slow from the night before
From the places you can find me
The places left behind me at home
Oh I can't hold these feet no more
My minds been three steps out the door
With post card pictures
That I won't write when I get where I go
I'm off to the races oh the places I've gone
I'll smile before my race ends for the places I'll go
I'm off to the races oh the places I've gone
I'll smile before my race ends for the places I'll go
It was cold room filled with smoke
And I was feeling slow from the night before
But I stood straight and steady mind at ease
I was ready for the next move
