U Turn is a 1997 crime film directed by Oliver Stone, based on the book Stray Dogs by John Ridley. It stars Sean Penn, Billy Bob Thornton, Jennifer Lopez, Jon Voight, Powers Boothe, Joaquin Phoenix, Claire Danes and Nick Nolte.
The plot concerns a drifter named Bobby (Sean Penn) who ends up entangled in a plot involving a Grace McKenna (Jennifer Lopez) and her husband Jake (Nick Nolte), also finding himself in conflict with the town mechanic named Darrell (Billy Bob Thornton). Bobby owes a large amount of money which he is currently transporting to California. His car breaks down however, forcing him to drive to the nearest town, Superior, Arizona. He takes the money with him but leaves his gun in the trunk of his car. While waiting for his car to be fixed, he wanders around the town where he meets Grace. Not realising she is married, he hits on her and helps her carry some drapes to her car. She offers to take him back to her house where he can have a shower.
While in the shower, it is revealed that the 'accident' that happened to his hand was in fact a punishment for the overdue debt - two of his fingers were cut off. After his shower he attempts to seduce Grace, who is cold to his advances. He goes to leave, saying he isn't interested in playing games. The two then kiss, where they are caught by Grace's husband Jake. Bobby, saying he didn't know she was married, tries to leave but Jake punches him.

Here it is.
Here it is.
Make a turn around,
Make a U-turn now.

Hey you!
If anybody's home, I'm trying to get through
with a story for you.
There's a monster out there and it really
doesn't care what you say what you do
if you're young or you're grey.
Justification was my mode of operation,
looking good number one on my list.
Trapped in a circle of a merry-go-round,
I couldn't get up getting down.
The things that I was doing was all I ever known,
I didn't know that I was driven by delusion to the
bone.
You want to hear the greatest story ever told?
There ain't a greater feeling than the healing
of your soul.
Baby, I'm not here to sell you but you need someone
to tell you like it is.
Like it is.
Like it is.
I don't wanna be a preacher
But you really need a teacher, here it is.
Here it is.
Here it is.

Hey You!
Don't beat yourself up, be gentle with yourself
'cause there ain't nobody else, and it isn't
your fault and I know it seems bleak,
and you're only in this u-turn 'til you meet defeat.
I never thought I had to go as far as I did,
I had to leave home and abandon a kid.
You want to hear the greatest story ever told?
There ain't a greater feeling than the healing
of your soul.
Baby, I'm not here to sell you but you need someone
to tell you like it is.
Like it is.
Like it is.
I don't wanna be a preacher
But you really need a teacher, here it is.
Here it is.
Here it is.
Make a turn around, make a u-turn now.

Baby, I'm not here to sell you but you need someone

Make a U-turn, make about face, make a turn around,
make a turn around, make a u-turn now.
I don't wanna be a preacher
But you really need a teacher, here it is.
Here it is.
Here it is.
Make a turn around, make a u-turn now.
