Make A Right

Sittin' with Grandpa in the dining room

Got to talkin' like us boys do

I asked him bout the time he met Granny

He said, boy, that was back in sixty-two

I was workin' the line, just makin' do

Every day seemed the same, it drove me crazy

Boy, yes it did

Leavin' work, I always took a left

But one day I made a right instead

I saw a sign for a job with more direction

So I called up for an interview

Got that job and a big raise, too

And my first day, guess who I met at reception

And what brought me here

And the last damn fifty years

Was takin' a different path than I should

One day you might get a little stuck

In this rut that you've been diggin' all your life

And when you finally feel you've had enough

You gotta look around a little for the light

A small choice won't do nothin' or it might

When you feel that all that's left is wrong

Make a right

He said, take a risk once or twice

You only get this one short life

There ain't no second chance for you and me

Just follow your own path

Don't let time bite you in the ass

Get to choosin' 'fore it's chosen for ya

One day you might get a little stuck

In this rut that you've been diggin' all your life

And when you finally feel you've had enough

You gotta look around a little for the light

A small choice won't do nothin' or it might

When you feel that all that's left is wrong

Make a right

Make a right

Think it through, keep puttin' up a fight

When everything that's left feels wrong

Make a right
