GOTTA GET IT STRAIGHT
Rossington-Collins Band


I gotta get it straight, before it gets too late.
I done made up my mnd, I been wastin' precious time.
But one thing I know,
I gotta get it straight before it gets too late.

And if it comes together, I guess it's up to me.
Can't wait for somebody else to get it straight for me.
One thing I do know, it's all up to me,
To change what needs to be.

I been down before, but I'm back on my feets again!

Now the longer I live, the more that I believe,
The more that I give, the more that I recieve, yeah.
Now one thing I'll tell you, you got to give,
You got to give to get what you need.

And I believe that in dreamin', no harm can come to you.
The worst thing that could happen is that it won't come true.
But one thing that I have seen, that's a dream come true,
At least a time or two.

I been down before, but I'm back on my feets again!

If there's a point to the story, I guess it's simply this.
You only get a few chances, you can't afford to miss, no.
One thing I'll tell you, you get that chance to hit,
You can't afford to miss, no, no.

You better get it straight, before it gets to late.
You better make up your mind, you been wastin' precious time.
One thing I do know, you gotta get it straight,
Before it gets too late.

I been down before, but I'm back on my feets again!

How about you?
