Damn Long Straight
Navigating Life's Challenges: Damn Long Straight by Darren Gillis
Lyrics
They say that life ain't easy
Life is challenging, not easy.
When you step into the grey
Entering a morally ambiguous or uncertain situation.
You gotta watch your footsteps
Caution is needed; be mindful of your actions.
When you go the other way
Be careful when choosing an unconventional path.
Woeoooooh It's a damn long straight
Expressing the difficulty and length of the journey ahead.
Daddy always told me
Advice from the speaker's father about making wise choices.
Be careful who you choose
Emphasizing the importance of careful selection in relationships.
Never stray from purpose
Staying focused on goals to avoid negative consequences.
Cause all you do it lose
Deviation from purpose leads to failure.
Woeoooooh It's a damn long straight
Reiteration of the challenging nature of the journey.
I won't stand here idle
Determination to avoid being passive or inactive.
I won't repeat the same mistakes
Commitment to learning from past errors and not repeating them.
I'm gonna take all this life gives me
Embracing all aspects of life, both positive and negative.
No matter who stands in my way
Facing challenges regardless of obstacles from others.
Cause it's been, it's been a damn long straight
Acknowledging the prolonged and challenging nature of the journey.
Always been the good guy
Consistently taking the morally right path despite consequences.
Seems to seal my fate
Being a good person seems to determine destiny.
People take advantage
Experiencing exploitation from others due to generosity.
All giving and no take
One-sided relationships where the speaker gives more than receives.
Woeoooooh It's a damn long straight
Reiteration of the challenging nature of the journey.
Gotta turn my life round
Determination to change life for the better.
Can't afford to wait
No time to delay; immediate action is necessary.
I'm gonna raise some hell now
Expressing a rebellious and assertive attitude.
So you better walk away
A warning for others to avoid confrontation.
Woeoooooh It's a damn long straight
Reiteration of the challenging nature of the journey.
I won't stand here idle
Commitment to avoid being passive or inactive.
I won't repeat the same mistakes
Refusing to repeat previous mistakes.
I'm gonna take all this life gives me
Embracing all aspects of life, both positive and negative.
No matter who stands in my way
Facing challenges regardless of obstacles from others.
Cause it's been, it's been a damn long straight
Acknowledging the prolonged and challenging nature of the journey.
I won't stand here idle
Commitment to avoid being passive or inactive.
I won't repeat the same mistakes
Refusing to repeat previous mistakes.
I'm gonna take all this life gives me
Embracing all aspects of life, both positive and negative.
No matter who stands in my way
Facing challenges regardless of obstacles from others.
Cause it's been, it's been a damn long straight
Acknowledging the prolonged and challenging nature of the journey.
