Keep your head on straight,
Don’t deviate from your path.
Focus on your goals and be the best you can be.
Keep your head on straight.

When the road in front of you has several forks
Focus on what’s important.
Don’t get caught up in the jungle to the left or the ocean to the right.
Keep your head on straight

As the road almost comes to a close it reopens, stretching for miles alone.
The forest on the left becomes hazy,
the ocean on the right takes on a sweet aroma.
Keep your head on straight.

Just fifteen miles more,
But now others play in the thick fog of the forest,
And others indulge in the warming taste of the sweet ocean.
Keep your head on straight.

Your goal is within reach, your lifelong trek is almost over.
Suddenly you’re the only one sober.
The men in the hazy forest busted for dope,
The call of the ocean draws the alcoholics in like a rope.
Keep your head on straight.
