Lyrics
Hey now what you doing
Addressing someone and questioning their current actions or choices.
Don't go down the road to ruin
Advising against a destructive path or course of action.
Look back at where you came from
Reflecting on the past and urging to consider one's origins.
Count to ten before you go wrong
Suggesting a moment of pause and reflection before making a mistake.
You had the brightest future
Recalling a promising future, potentially related to artistic endeavors.
Writing songs on your computer
Highlighting creativity through songwriting on a computer.
But you couldn't walk that extra mile
Not being able to complete a challenging task, falling short.
And now your life is running wild
Consequence of not putting in extra effort, resulting in a chaotic life.
You've gotta hold your head up high
Encouragement to maintain self-esteem and optimism.
You know it's not too late to try
Emphasizing that it's never too late to make positive changes.

Hey now, who's that with you
Inquiring about someone's companion and a suspicious exchange.
What's that thing I saw him give you
Asking about a mysterious object given to the person in question.
Turn round don't come no closer

You took it from my shoulder holster
