I've known you since you've been born Raising hell, even as a child Nothing's changed since that day You're still out running wild Hellhounds are on your trail Getting closer with every passing mile Hey now baby Don't you think it's high time To change your life's direction Get off the firing line Well your luck just ain't been running Lord, very smooth these days I think it's finally come down that You're gonna have to mend your ways Your head's up in the clouds You can't see through the haze Hey now sweet baby Don't you think it's high time To change your life's direction Get off the firing line Step outside, take a look around Do you see anyone who cares? Spent your whole life Steppin' on your friends Still you ain't nowhere Search for a new direction But the past is all you find You can count up all your mistakes Blame it on your criminal mind When you lay down with snakes Come up poisoned every time Hey now baby Don't you think it's high time To change your life's direction Get off the firing line Get off the firing line (Ooh) Get off the firing line (oh, yeah!)
