Level Head

Lyrics

Mona used to have a family Mona used to have a home With a white picket fence and a garden And a good life to call her own But a one night stand up in Delaware Turned out to be no small affair Mona used to have a family But now she's living all alone Johnny used to be a preacher Preachin' for the common man He had a big congregation But he knew he had the upper hand 'Cause they were hanging on every word he said Guess the power went to his head 'Cause Johnny used to be preacher But nobody listens anymore While it's undone and yet to be said I've gotta live with a level head Taking my time, hearing those tiny voices I don't wanna be found in a tunnel of sin Wishing I was what I could've been Lord, have mercy, I gotta make my choices With a level head Do, do, do, do, do, do, do-do... Do, do, do-do-do, do... Danny used to be so clean cut Danny used to be so nice Got a high paying job in the city That bought him into paradise But the money comes and the money goes He took it all and put it up his nose Danny used to be so clean cut But now he doesn't look so good While it's undone and yet to be said I've gotta live with a level head Taking my time, hearing those tiny voices I don't wanna be found in a tunnel of sin Wishing I was what I could've been Lord, have mercy, I gotta make my choices With a level head Do, do, do, do, do, do, do-do... Do, do, do-do-do, do... Do, do, do, do, do, do, do-do... Do, do, do-do-do, do... Becky used to be in high school Becky used to be in love (so in love) Dancing at the Junior formal But dancing wasn't good enough (no) So the passion flares in a lusty greed Now she's got another mouth to feed Becky used to be in high school But now she's growing up so fast I need a level head Do, do, do, do, do, do, do-do... I need a level head Do, do, do-do-do, do... Oh, I need a level head Do, do, do, do, do, do, do-do... Lord, I need a level head Do, do, do-do-do, do... Do, do, do, do, do, do, do-do... I need a level head Do, do, do-do-do, do...
