Rough road, the way it's going

Where it leads, there ain't no way of knowing

But we better have the story straight before judgment day

Heavy load, on my mind

I don't always pay attention to the sign

But you better have the story straight before judgment day



You better get your story straight

Keep talkin'

Brother, sister, don't you wait

Start walkin'

Trouble don't negotiate

No matter what you say

The whole world is running late

Lord knows we have too much on our plate

But we better get the story straight before judgment day



Fool yourself, fool your friends

Fool everybody every now and then

But you better have the story straight before judgment day

No worries, no concern

What's the hurry, there's lots of time to burn

But you better have your story straight before judgment day



You better get your story straight

Keep talkin'

Brother, sister, don't you wait

Start walkin'

Trouble don't negotiate

No matter what you say

The whole world is running late

Lord knows we have too much on our plate

But we better have the story straight before judgment

Better get your story straight before judgment

Better get the story straight before judgment day
