The Right Thing Songtext
(Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey)
I got no story, I got no hero's history to write you
I got nothing to offer
But I got a single-lit highway
That can take you away from here
And do you know that every time
I get a glimpse into your future life, I've gotta figure out...
Can I do the right thing?
Oh, I'm so afraid 'cause it's your life in my hands
Gotta go the right way
Oh, I'm looking for a black and white street light to guide me
(Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey)
I got no excuses, I got no reason for you to stay with me now
I got nothing to go on
Except for this sinking feeling
I can keep you safe from harm
And do you know that every time
I get a glimpse into your future life, I've gotta figure out...
Can I do the right thing?
Oh, I'm so afraid 'cause it's your life in my hands
Gotta go the right way
Oh, I'm looking for a black and white street light to guide me
Back to you, back to you...
Don't know, can't see what's in front of me
I don't know where I am going
You hold my life in your hands, in your hands
Can I do the right thing?
Oh, I'm so afraid 'cause it's your life in my hands
Gotta go the right way
Oh, I'm looking for a black and white street light to guide me
Back to you
(Don't know, can't see what's in front of me) back to you
(I don't know where I am going) back to you
(You hold my life in your hands) back to you
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I got no story, I got no hero's history to write you
I got nothing to offer
But I got a single-lit highway
That can take you away from here
And do you know that every time
I get a glimpse into your future life, I've gotta figure out...
Can I do the right thing?
Oh, I'm so afraid 'cause it's your life in my hands
Gotta go the right way
Oh, I'm looking for a black and white street light to guide me
(Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey)
I got no excuses, I got no reason for you to stay with me now
I got nothing to go on
Except for this sinking feeling
I can keep you safe from harm
And do you know that every time
I get a glimpse into your future life, I've gotta figure out...
Can I do the right thing?
Oh, I'm so afraid 'cause it's your life in my hands
Gotta go the right way
Oh, I'm looking for a black and white street light to guide me
Back to you, back to you...
Don't know, can't see what's in front of me
I don't know where I am going
You hold my life in your hands, in your hands
Can I do the right thing?
Oh, I'm so afraid 'cause it's your life in my hands
Gotta go the right way
Oh, I'm looking for a black and white street light to guide me
Back to you
(Don't know, can't see what's in front of me) back to you
(I don't know where I am going) back to you
(You hold my life in your hands) back to you
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
