Lyrics:

Hey now what you doing

Don't go down the road to ruin

Look back at where you came from

Count to ten before you go wrong



You had the brightest future

Writing songs on your computer

But you couldn't walk that extra mile

And now your life is running wild



You've gotta hold your head up high

You know it's not too late to try

You've gotta lift that heavy load

You've gotta get back in control



The things you say to me

What is it that your eyes see

Is it love or is it hate

Banging on an open gate



Hey now, who's that with you

What's that thing I saw him give you

Turn round don't come no closer

You took it from my shoulder holster



You've gotta hold your head up high

You know it's not too late to try

You've gotta lift that heavy load

You've gotta get back in control



You've gotta hold your head up high

You know it's not too late to try

You've gotta lift that heavy load

You've gotta get back in control



Why don't you put that gun right down

Before you kill the love you found



Hey now what you doing (what you doing)

Don't go down the road to ruin
