Lyrics

[00:12.14] Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
[00:18.06] And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
[00:26.30] It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
[00:32.61] But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God
[00:40.09] And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
[00:46.52] There ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
[00:57.81] There's people around who tell you what they know
[01:03.36] And places that they send you and it's easy to go
[01:11.82] They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row
[01:17.37] But you know you don't have to, you can just say, "No"
[01:25.42] And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
[01:31.85] There ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
[01:37.90] There ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
[01:44.08] There ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
[01:55.56] I've been built up and trusted, been broke down and busted
[02:07.67] But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours if you can
[02:12.79] Just hold on, hold on
[02:26.02] Hold on, hold on
[02:38.74] Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
[02:44.17] And I've been trying hard against strong odds
[02:52.85] It gets so hard at times like now to hold on
[02:58.21] But I'll fall if I don't fight, and at my side is God
[03:06.14] And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
[03:12.57] There ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
[03:18.87] There ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
[03:24.55] There ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
[03:31.16] Hold on, hold on ...
