We’ll turn this thing around
Try not to settle down
Get our feet up off the ground
‘Til we know
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
We’ll walk together
Should we, or should we not
Give it a second thought?
We’ll I can’t connect the dots
So, I don’t know
But what have we got to lose?
Just our workin’-brother-blues
So, come on, put on your shoes
Here we go
Someone’s in flat-bed truck
With his head hung low
There’s a dog on the side of the road
Takin’ it slow
I see clouds of dust
Swallowing the sunset’s glow
This isn’t what we thought it would be
But it’s good to know
Young boys and girls
Are given new eyes to see
Locked doors are open
When we give up the keys
And if we get lost
Falling down to our knees
Well Babe, just remember
I got you, and you got me
I got you, and you got me!
