Straight Down The Line
Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades

You bought a one way ticket and you headed down to Mexico
Said you were gonna find the answers to the questions I don't know

You can't help yourself
It's not someone else
When you look in the mirror

Tell me what do you see
Are you thinking of me?
Yeah

You've got a new age guru sitting cross-legged on the floor
You're selling some kind of Voodoo, but I think he only wants to score

You can't help yourself
No there's no one else
Take a good look around now

Tell me what do you see
Are you thinking of me
Yeah yeah yeah

Straight down the line
You'll find the answer
Straight down the line
You know I believe
When all is said and done
You'll be the one
Straight down the line

You met a Hollywood agent with a big house on the hill
He says he's gonna leave his wife, but you know that he never will

You can't help yourself
No there's no one else
When you look in the mirror

Tell me what do you see
Are you thinking of me
Yeah yeah yeah

Straight down the line
You'll know the answer
Straight down the line
You know I believe
When all's said and done
You'll be the one
Straight down the line

Is it time to make a reservation
Do you need a ride to take you home
Or will it always be destination unknown
Do you need a little recreation
A little something that will feed your soul
Don't you love it when you finally find your way home
Oh yeah

Straight down the line
Straight down the line

Straight down the line
You'll find the answer
Straight down the line
You know I believe
When all's said and done
You'll be the one
Whoo-hoo

Time ain't wasted
Time ain't wasted
When I spend my time with you

Time ain't wasted
Time ain't wasted
Whoo-hoo

Straight down the line
Oh yeah
Straight down the line

Yeah
Straight down the line
