The Ballad of El Goodo

Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds It gets so hard in times like now to hold on But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round There's people around who tell you that they know And places where they send you, and it's easy to go They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row But you know you don't have to, you could just say no And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round I've been built up and trusted Broke down and busted But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours if you can Just-a hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh Though I've been trying hard against strong odds It gets so hard in times like now to hold on Well, I'll fall if I don't fight, and at my side is God And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
