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
