I felt so cold and so afraid, I got down on my knees and prayed, "I'm a hopeless man unless you take me back," 'Cause I was on that road that leads to where the soul will die in deep despair, I gotta get myself back on track, I gotta get myself back on track. It's time to get on back now; should've never gone away, And find the love I left there, on that cold and lonely day, I'm going nowhere, I got nothing; it's an empty way to go, It's time to get on back now, to the straight...straight and narrow road. One million mile away from home, I never knew how far that I could roam, but now my eyes are open I can see, There is a road that's straight and thin, but I chose the path with streets of sin that leads to where you never wanna be, 'cause a fire's gonna burn eternally. It's time to get on back now; should've never gone away, And find the love I left there, on that cold and lonely day, I'm going nowhere, I got nothing; it's an empty way to go, It's time to get on back now, to the straight...straight and narrow road. I didn't need to hear your voice; I though I needed my own choice, and I walked away from all you had to give, but in the darkness I awoke, You hear me praying as I softly spoke: "I don't wanna die, I wanna live; I don't wanna die, I wanna live." It's time to get on back now; should've never gone away, And find the love I left there, on that cold and lonely day, 'Cause I'm going nowhere, I got nothing; it's an empty way to go, It's time to get on back now, to the straight...straight and narrow road.
