LYRICS
Better look where you’re going
Or without knowing
You could be gone
Before too long
Better look where you’re going
Have we all been distracted
Appalled at the way I acted
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”
Do we have “I’s” on both sides of our head
Haven’t heard a word that’s said
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”
Though we can see… walking blindly
Choosing to act unkindly
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”
Better look where you’re going
Or without knowing
You could be gone
Before too long
Better look where you’re going
ABOUT THE SONG
Written at the corner of Gay and Church Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA. When I started writing this song, a police officer that was driving by gave me the “hairy eyeball” instead of paying attention to where he was going. At the same time, a girl was walking across the crosswalk looking at her phone. We almost had one less police officer and one less pedestrian.
