Chorus:. We gotta work it out. Get back what we lost. I see shadows of a doubt. But I'm keepin'my fingers crossed. She was just turning 17. He always promised her he'd stay. They were so love crazy 'til she had a baby. Then he turned and walked away.. . How long will we keep this goin' on. Before we find a way. to care for each other. Living for today we`ll never see tomorrow.. . Chorus. . He was just out to get a wreck. He was too proud to show his pain. Someone pulled a trigger guess he never figured. He would lose at his own game.. . How long can we keep this goin' on. When no one takes the blame. There's so many gone. We could find a way it may not be too late.. . Chorus. . Take a look around See how hard it is. To survive these days. But sometimes you wonder. How long can this keep goin' on. I guess the only thing you do is keep your fingers crossed. . How long will we keep this goin' on. When no one takes the blame. There's so many gone. Livin'for today we may not see tomorrow. .
