My Head's On Straight

I got my head on straight
I got my mind made up
It took a long, long time

Now what good is a man
Who doesn't have a plan?
He don't know where he's going
Which way to turn
Or what he's gonna do

I was alone and so lost
And then misery was the cost
But now I feel ten feet tall
I've had enough of it all
And I feel free

I got my mind made up
I got my head on straight
It took a long, long time
To get it together, to get it together
My head on straight
I got my head on straight
It took a long, long time

Now what good is a life
If you have to go over it twice
Never knowing where you stand
Always feeling less than the man
You really are

I was so blind, you see
I could not find the best in me
But now I know what I need
I've only got myself to please
Oh, I feel free

I got my mind made up
I got my head on straight
It took a long, long time
To get it together, to get it together
My mind's made up
I got my head on straight
It took a long, long time

To get it together, to get it together
My head's on straight
I got my mind made up
It took a long, long time

I got it together, I got it together
Mind's made up straight
I got my head on straight

It's all about my mind
I got it together, I got it together
My head's on straight
My mind made up
Took a lifetime
I got it together, I got it together
