Intro:      G       Am     C     D     G  
The air was cGold, oh, and the Ammoney was tight

And I'm tAmired of dodging blows under the Emtable
I can't Amdo what I been told, living Cyoung but growing old
And I say, GI'm just holding on for my surCvival
And I Gcan't ever seem to just let it bDe
My Gwheels keep rollin' on even tChough my money's gone
Well, IGmma go home and Dpray for the reGvival
See my father was mGade straight from the Amsalt of the earth
