Lyrics Howard Jones – Straight Ahead

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

There’s a cast of thousands here, livin’ in my head,
All tryin’ to talk at once, saying I’m better off better off,
As I tread the tightrope, between demons and saints,

Straight ahead, through the storm,
Let it rage, let it pour down,
Straight ahead, somehow
I’ll walk on, and I won’t turn back now

OOH ooh ooh ooh ooh, OOH ooh ooh ooh ooh
OOH ooh ooh ooh ooh, OOH ooh ooh ooh ooh

Suzy works the night shift, and Johnny stays at home,
Three kids, and a lot of bills, wearin’ hand-me-down clothes,
They might not have a lot, but at the end of the day
They’re holdin’ on, and they’re keepin’ faith

Straight ahead, through the storm
Let it rage, let it pour down,
Straight ahead, somehow,
I’ll walk on, and I won’t turn back now

Each alone on winding roads, hopeful hearts will fight on
Straight ahead, through the storm
Let it rage, let it pour down,
Straight ahead, somehow
I’ll walk on, and I won’t turn back now
Straight ahead, through the storm
Let it rage, let it pour down,
Straight ahead, somehow
I’ll walk on, and I won’t turn back now

Ooh Ooh No I won’t turn back, Ooh Ooh No I won’t turn back
Ooh Ooh No I won’t turn back, Ooh Ooh No I won’t turn back

Straight ahead through the storm no I won’t turn back no I won’t turn back
Straight ahead through the storm no I won’t turn back no I won’t turn back
