I felt so cold and so afraid, I got down on my knees and prayed, "I'm a hopeless man unless you take me back,"
'Cause I was on that road that leads to where the soul will die in deep despair,
I gotta get myself back on track, I gotta get myself back on track.

It's time to get on back now; should've never gone away,
And find the love I left there, on that cold and lonely day,
I'm going nowhere, I got nothing; it's an empty way to go,
It's time to get on back now, to the straight...straight and narrow road.

One million mile away from home,
I never knew how far that I could roam, but now my eyes are open I can see,
There is a road that's straight and thin, but I chose the path with streets of sin that leads to where you never wanna be, 'cause a fire's gonna burn eternally.

It's time to get on back now; should've never gone away,
And find the love I left there, on that cold and lonely day,
I'm going nowhere, I got nothing; it's an empty way to go,
It's time to get on back now, to the straight...straight and narrow road.

I didn't need to hear your voice; I though I needed my own choice, and I walked away from all you had to give, but in the darkness I awoke,
You hear me praying as I softly spoke: "I don't wanna die, I wanna live; I don't wanna die, I wanna live."

It's time to get on back now; should've never gone away,
And find the love I left there, on that cold and lonely day,
'Cause I'm going nowhere, I got nothing; it's an empty way to go,
It's time to get on back now, to the straight...straight and narrow road.
