- Straight To The Top Lyrics

I'm going straight to the top whoa
I'm going where the air is fresh and clean
I'm going straight up to the top
If you know me, you know what I mean
I can't let mister sorrow try and pull ol' Frankie down
We live for tomorrow, I have found you
Straight up to the top
I'm going up where the air is fresh and clean
I know I never gonna stop until I know, I know I'm wild and free
I'm going straight up to the top
And if you know me, you know what I mean
I can't let ol' mister sorrow try and pull me down
I live for tomorrow, I have found you
I'm going straight to the top whoa
I'm going up where the air is fresh and clean

I can't let mister sorrow try and pull ol' Frankie down
We live for tomorrow, I have found you
Straight to the top, oh yeah
Up where the air is,
Up where the air is,
Up where the air is,
Up where the air is,
Up where the air is fresh and clean
