The air was cold, oh, and the money was tight I clung to her body that night pretending I was in love See I've been told that this kinda living ain't right But it becomes hard to fight when it fits like a glove But I'm tired of dodging blows under the table I can't do what I've been told Living young while growing old And I said that I'm just holding on for my survival And I can't ever seem to just let it be My wheels keep rolling on, even though my money's gone But Imma go home and pray for a revival See my father was raised straight from the salt of the earth He taught me about a dollar bill's worth He taught me how to survive Can't be upset, losing my life to my work Ain't easy and I know it's gonna hurt, but it keeps me alive I said I think it's time for me to go while I'm still able I can't do what I've been told Living young while growing old And I said that I'm just holding on for my survival And I can't ever seem to let it be My wheels keep rolling on, even though my money's gone But Imma go home and pray for a revival So I'm just holding on for my survival And I can't ever seem to just let it be My wheels keep rolling on even though my money's gone, but Imma go home and pray for a revival Yay Imma go home and pray for a revival Yay-ee-yay
