The Straight Story

In the morning, in the backyard, a chair to wonder
 How life got so small
 Is this all there is?
 Through the screen door, cups and saucers chirping like birds
 She'll be OK. I can get away for a while
 Something's nagging, it's always gnawing
 I gotta do something before it's too late
 Gotta set things straight
 I don't care how long it takes. I'll get there
 I don't mind how slow it seems. I'll get there
 Make a b-line, make a straight line, push the pedal
 And watch the fields glide by
 Under the great big blue sky
 I don't care how long it takes. I'll get there
 I don't mind how slow it seems. I'll get there
 Some people think I'm crazy
 They want me to stay
 Other people have written me off
 They can't hear what I say
 If you really want to help me
 I mean, you really want to help me
 Just get out of the way
 In the evening, I light a fire. It's a beacon for any lost souls
 Trying to find their way home
 I don't care how long it takes. I'll get there
 I don't mind how slow it seems. I'll get there
 Some people think I'm crazy
 They want me to stay
 Other people have written me off
 They can't hear what I say
 If you really want to help me
 I mean, you really, really want to help me
 Just get out of the way
