Head on Straight [Ronnie Montrose, featuring Ricky Phillips]

Head on Straight
Written by Ronnie Montrose, Ricky Phillips, Eric Singer

If you don't like a situation
And life keeps getting you down
It's gonna take determination
To take you to the higher ground

It don't matter to me
If it don't matter to you
What you gonna do

You'd better get it together
You'd better not be late
This ain't gonna last forever
So get your head on straight
Get your head on straight

When you're lost in the liberation
There's no need for you to wonder why
It's gonna take some inspiration
To get you to the higher height

It don't matter to me
If it don't matter to you
Everybody wants to be free
So tell me, what are you gonna do
What you gonna do

You'd better get it together
You'd better not be late
This ain't gonna last forever
So get your head on straight
Get your head on straight

You'd better get it together
You'd better not be late
This ain't gonna last forever
So get your head on straight
Get your head on straight
Come on, get it straight
Get it on, get it on
Get your head on straight
Mmm
Get your head on straight

Interpretation

You can't let your circumstances in life get you down. You need determination and inspiration to get what you want in life. Life is short, so get your head on straight and make the most of it.
