I left home
in 59
tryin' to make it
Walkin' a rough road,
carrying a heavy load
Talkin' about trouble, I got a trouble, oh
I had myself a good thing
one time and blew it
But you can bet that if I come
across that one more time
I'm gonna hold on to it, yeah
I'm hangin' on and tryin' to make it
I'm hangin' on in here,
somethin's got to break for me, yeah
I'm hangin' on in here, tryin' to make it,
I refuse to give up,
I'm just hangin' on in here
Somethin's got to break for me,
but right now I'm payin' my dues
I got holes in my shoes
Had a knock on my door
Today, yeah
It was my landlord
Tellin' me that I couldn't stay, no
Askin' for too much rent
Lord knows I couldn't pay
Now all I've got is this guitar
And these clothes on my back
I'm go ing down to a club
I've heard about
They call the Soul Shack
Try to get me a gig
I'm hanging on in here
Trying to make it
Ooh
Hanging on in here
Something's got to break for me
It's got to break
Hanging on in here
Trying to make it
Hangin' on again,
the sun's got to rain for me
Been walkin' this rough
road all by myself
Changes is gonna come,
but man I don't know
Hangin' on again,
the sun's got to rain for
Hangin' on again,
the sun's got rain for me
Oh, make it all again, dark and gray
It's got, it's got, it's got to be gray
Make it all again, dark and gray
