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
