The Straight Story Songtext
von Henning Ohlenbusch
The Straight Story Songtext
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
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
