Straight Shot
I can draw a straight line
Through my mind
Right back to the good times
Back when all the stars were aligned
Before all the paperwork got signed
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's like a straight shot
Through the backyards and the vacant lots
Through the varied chambers of my heart
To the part of town that even you seem to have forgot
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Now it's just a short ride
Over to the east-side
It's where my true love
Still resides
Where all my dreams go to die
And my life is just around the bend
And these broken hearts can mend
It just takes time, time, time
It takes time, time, time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ours was the tale
That never would end
Doors were gonna open
And rules were gonna bend
Now it doesn't matter
Who they send
Can't hold a candle to you
My fair-weather best friend
Now I'm stuck in the slow lane
On the useless side of my brain
The one that drives
A thinking man insane
Wishing his circumstances
Never have to change
And my life is just around the bend
And these broken hearts can mend
It just takes time, time, time
It takes time, time, time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Now that i'm single, fine
I'll walk a sentimental mile
Over blue mosaic tiles
Our souls did co-mingle for a little while
And my life is just around the bend
And these broken hearts can mend
It just takes time, time, time
It takes time, time, time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
That's why I draw a straight line
Through my mind
Right back to the good times
Back when all the stars were aligned
Before all the paperwork got signed
I make that quick line
Over to the east side
Where my true love
Still resides
Where all my dreams go to die
Through my mind
Right back to the good times
Back when all the stars were aligned
Before all the paperwork got signed
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's like a straight shot
Through the backyards and the vacant lots
Through the varied chambers of my heart
To the part of town that even you seem to have forgot
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Now it's just a short ride
Over to the east-side
It's where my true love
Still resides
Where all my dreams go to die
And my life is just around the bend
And these broken hearts can mend
It just takes time, time, time
It takes time, time, time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ours was the tale
That never would end
Doors were gonna open
And rules were gonna bend
Now it doesn't matter
Who they send
Can't hold a candle to you
My fair-weather best friend
Now I'm stuck in the slow lane
On the useless side of my brain
The one that drives
A thinking man insane
Wishing his circumstances
Never have to change
And my life is just around the bend
And these broken hearts can mend
It just takes time, time, time
It takes time, time, time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Now that i'm single, fine
I'll walk a sentimental mile
Over blue mosaic tiles
Our souls did co-mingle for a little while
And my life is just around the bend
And these broken hearts can mend
It just takes time, time, time
It takes time, time, time
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
That's why I draw a straight line
Through my mind
Right back to the good times
Back when all the stars were aligned
Before all the paperwork got signed
I make that quick line
Over to the east side
Where my true love
Still resides
Where all my dreams go to die
