Level Head
by Bruce Carroll

Album: Sometimes Miracles Hide

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...
