(Intro): You know it's funny... when you look back at all the stuff that you've done in your past life. Roads you've traveled..., so on and so forth. Well, I'm steering clear of those roads nowadays... (Verse 1): Old me getting jealous, I'm making the Devil nervous. Been restored, thank you Lord, God-fearing, been steering clear, no more rearview. Fast life, walking with Christ, got me feeling no strife, just loving life. A warmth now settles in my soul, a quiet peace that takes its hold. The touch of grace has made me bold, a new direction, pure as gold. (Pre-Chorus): Past is done, a brand new start, clear intentions in my heart. Every step, a steady pace, finding strength, and endless grace. (Chorus): Been a rough and rocky time, steering clear no more "Vine," ain't got the time for "Over-the-Rhine!" Just hard work and overtime, no drugs on my mind. (Verse 2): Been feeling great, head held high, looking up to the sky, thank you Big Guy. You saved me from the pain and suffering. Got the old me thinking, "damn, where you at, man!" Shhhh, I can't hear you, I'm steering clear. I don't need you in my rearview anymore! The lonely nights are gone for good, a new life is finally in view... I feel the pulse of something true, a future finally coming through. (Chorus): Been a rough and rocky time, steering clear no more "Vine," ain't got the time for "Over-the-Rhine!" Just hard work and overtime, no drugs on my mind. (Verse 3): With every sunrise, I'm feeling new. The old dark shadows, I've seen them through. My heart is mended, my spirit's strong. This is where I've belonged, all along. The ground feels steady beneath my feet, a love that's honest, strong, and complete. Every breath I take is so unique. (Verse 4): The whispers of the past grow dim, no longer hanging on a whim. My new reality, I'm swimming, right up to the brim. I'm walking tall, no longer small, after I gave you my all. I feel the sun on my skin, a brand new life I'm living in. My heart is open, let it all begin, no longer hiding what's within. yea...... (Chorus): Been a rough and rocky time, steering clear no more "Vine," ain't got the time for "Over-the-Rhine!" Just hard work and overtime, no drugs on my mind. (Bridge): It's about communication when you're walking with Creation. I talk to you, you'll talk to me, you gave me eyes and now I see. My past behind me, set me free. My life laid out, for all to know. A brighter path, where I can go. Lord, you give direction, though I lack perfection. My whole life, I've taken the wrong way, been steering my life with my demons and legions. Now I put away pride, I have opened my eyes and ears for you to steer me clear of all this pain and fear! (Chorus): Still a rough and rocky time, but I'm steering clear no more "Vine." Ain't got the time for "Over-the-Rhine!" Just hard work and overtime, with a peace of mind. .......... (I'm steering clear of that old "Vine," Got no time for "Over-the-Rhine!" Just hard work and overtime, Got a purpose, a new peace of mind! Yeah!) (Outro): The future's lookin' brighter, no doubt about it... Free of pain and sorrow, looking for a better tomorrow. Onward and upward.... Thank you God.
