Straight Ahead Lyrics

I've been hiding in here for twenty-one years and I'm ready

I got a body full of rhythm and an ocean full of living to do-oo-oo

I've got my sights held high, there's an apple in the sky

And plenty more burning in my head

Nothing gonna stop me 'cause I'm heading straight ahead



I've got my finger on the trigger, I guess I didn't figure on a lot of things

But then I really learned my lesson, really stopped messin' around

I've got an itch inside, tellin' me it's time for action, yeah

Nothing gonna stop me 'cause I'm heading straight ahead

Nothing gonna stop me now



I said Ooh, I wonder where I've ever bee-ee-een

I said Ooh-ooh, what could go wro-o-o-ong

Well I don't care where I'm goin', I don't care where I've bee-een

I only know there's too many places I ain't never see-een

So look out world



I'm all fired up, sick and tired of dreamin'

Well I might be lonely but at least I'm gonna be free-ee

They just smile, they nod and laugh

They never listen to a single word I said

But nothing gonna stop me 'cause I'm heading straight ahead

And nothing gonna stop me now, I'm heading out, ooh-ooh



Nothing gonna stop me now-ow, I'm heading ou-ou-ou-ou-out

O-o-one voice in the crowd when you all shout out lou-oud

One star in a million stars above, nothing gonna stop me now-ow

One smile in a laugh, one drop in the bath, one ma-an, lookin' for lo-ove

It's just one boy-oy, on his ow-ow-own for the first time alo-one

One tear-ear in a million tears been shed

One drop in the sea, so tell me who'll cry for me-ee

Who'll remember, when I-I'm dead



Oh-oh, nothing gonna stop me now-ow, nothing gonna stop me, ooh-ooh

I'm heading out, and straight ahead

Ain't nothing gonna stop me, I-I'm straight ahead



So come tomorrow morning, forget about the warning, I'm leavi-in'

There's a whole wide world out there waitin' for me-ee

I might stumble and fall but I'll still have a ball

If you must stay careful when I tread

Doesn't really matter when you're heading straight ahead, boy

Oh, doesn't really matter when you're heading straight ahead

If there was one voice in a crow-ow-owd when all shout out loud

Nothing gonna stop me, I'm heading straight ahead

Nothing gonna stop me, ooh-ooh, Look out
