Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
|
But I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
|
It gets so hard at times like now to hold on
|
My guns they're waiting to be stuck by
|
At my side is God
|
|
And there ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
|
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
|
|
There's people around who tell you that they know
|
The places where they send you, and it's easy to go
|
They'll zip you up and dress you down
|
Stand you in a row
|
But you know you don't have to
|
You can just say no
|
|
And there ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
|
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
|
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
|
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
|
|
I've been built up and trusted
|
Broke down and busted
|
But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours
|
Just if we can
|
Just, ah, hold on
|
Hold on
|
Hold on
|
Hold on
|
|
Years ago my heart was set to live, oh
|
But I've been trying hard against strong odds
|
It gets so hard at times like now to hold on
|
Well, I'll fall if I don't fight
|
And at my side is God
|
|
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
|
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
|
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
|
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
|
Hold on
|
Hold on
|
Hold on
|
Hold on
|
|
[alternate lines of last verse:]
|
Years ago I was all set to go
|
And I've been trying hard against long odds
|
It gets so hard at times like this to even hang around
|
I can either stand or fall
|
And I believe I'm gonna stand tall
|
