Rough road, the way it’s going
Where it leads, there ain’t no way of knowing
But we better have the story straight before judgment day
Heavy load, on my mind
I don’t always pay attention to the sign
But you better have the story straight before judgment day

You better get your story straight
Keep talkin’
Brother, sister, don’t you wait
Start walkin’
Trouble don’t negotiate
No matter what you say
The whole world is running late
Lord knows we have too much on our plate
But we better get the story straight before judgment day

Fool yourself, fool your friends
Fool everybody every now and then
But you better have the story straight before judgment day
No worries, no concern
What’s the hurry, there’s lots of time to burn
But you better have your story straight before judgment day

You better get your story straight
Keep talkin’
Brother, sister, don’t you wait
Start walkin’
Trouble don’t negotiate
No matter what you say
The whole world is running late
Lord knows we have too much on our plate
But we better have the story straight before judgment
Better get your story straight before judgment
Better get the story straight before judgment day
