Straight No Chaser Songtext
von Jamie Davis

Monk set it straight, it′s not a time when you wait
You got to be on, you got to be strong
The time is here, trust your life to your ear
Don't wait for no one, you′ll have to go on
Because the hallmark is the place where it all begins
And you better not stray


This monk had a way of being ahead of his day
Not in the same realm as other guys
He wasn't commonly wise
He knew the answer, the times would answer
He knew you can't pack up the moment
And take it with you on the road, so now is the time

Monk set it straight, it′s not a time when you wait
You got to be on, you got to be strong
The time is here, trust your life to your ear
Don′t wait for no one, you'll have to go on
Because the hallmark is the place where it all begins
And you better not stray


Monk had a way of being ahead of his day
Not in the same realm as other guys
He wasn′t commonly wise
He knew the answer, the times would answer
He knew you can't pack up the moment
And take it with you on the road, so now is the time
