" "

I've been over and I've been under,
I've been through all kinds of hell.
Trouble was not only my middle name,
It was my first as well.
Through the years, all I've encountered,
I've just one thing to say:
"Hold on to what you got
and don't let it slip away."
I've been taken for far more rides
to places I've never been,
stabbed so many times in the back
I no longer feel a thing.
Oh, ask me what all this has taught me
and I'll tell you what I'll say:
"Hold on to what you got
and don't let it slip away.
Save it for a rainy day."

There is too much attention
paid to him who shot at he
and to how he got away
but didn't quite.
Yes there's too much attention
So much so that we'll believe
he's not guilty of the crime which he's being tried
So forgive me when I tell you
I ain't got no place to go
I ain't got no one to talk to
got no one left to say hello
