Strait Old Line Lyrics by Split Enz

Conflicting Emotions

2011

[Verse 1:]
This could be heaven, or this could be hell
Life could be falling down a bottomless well
I stumble to the left, I stumble to the right
I fumble for the switch, of a disconnected light
(Stay with it!) Don't let temptation be your load
(Stay with it!) But there are bandits on the road

[Chorus:]
Don't look to the left (Look to the left)
Don't look to the right (Don't look to the right)
Just follow that strait old line
Don't look to the left (Woohoo!)
Don't look to the right (To the right)
Just follow that strait old line

[Verse 2:]
The road of ambition, it's a casualty trail
Press gangs wait to ambush the weak and weary
(Stay with it!)
I had to explore the light and dark, to see the sharp and flat
There's a hundred or more good reasons, not to ever turn your back

[Chorus:]
Don't look to the left
Don't look to the right
Just follow that strait old line
Don't look to the left (Look to the left!)
Don't look to the right (To the right!)
Just follow that strait old line

[Chorus:]
Don't look to the left
Don't look to the right
Just follow that strait old line
Don't look to the left
Don't look to the right
Just follow that strait old line

[Outro:]
Don't look to the left
Don't look to the right
Just follow that strait old line
Don't look to the left
Don't look to the right
Just follow that strait old line
