Well on the
Straight an' narrow
Is where I wanna be

And I can only
travel there since
My Lord saved me

So I'll run to
The Lord
Till I can't
Run no more

Run no more
Run no more
Till I can't
Run no more

Well on the
Straight an' narrow
Is were I wanna be

And I can only
travel there since
Jesus set me free

So if I can't
Run no more
I'll walk to the lord

I'll walk to the lord
Till I can't
Walk no more

Walk no more
Walk no more
Till I can't
Walk no more

Well on the
Straight an' narrow
Is were I wanna be

And I can only
Travel there since
My Lord's great love for me

So if I can't
Walk no more
I'll crawl to the Lord

Crawl to the Lord
Crawl to the Lord
Till I can't
crawl no more

Crawl no more
Crawl no more
Till I can't
Crawl no more

Well on the
Straight an' narrow
Is were I wanna be

And I can only
Travel there since
The spirit is in me

So if I can't
Crawl no more
I know
The Lord will carry me

He'll carry me
He'll carry me
The Lord will carry me
To heaven's doors

An' I won't
Have to travel
No more

Oh I won't
Have to travel
No more.

This should sound like an old slave spiritual if you clap with it.
