When you say that's it boy
I'm finally beat
You're goin' ninety miles an hour
Down a dead end streetYou don't want to fight no more
You think that you can't win
Come on boy take a real deep breath
Jump right in andHold your head up high
Oh, you gotta be strong, yeah
(You gotta be strong, you gotta be strong)
Come on and sing, sing, sing
There ain't nothing like a songNow they may take away your job
Take your fancy car
They may repossess your clothes
Take that fine guitarThey may take everything you own
Well, that's just for today
As long as you've got a song in your heart
Tomorrow's gonna be okayHold your head up high
Oh, you gotta be strong, yeah
(You gotta be strong, you gotta be strong)
Come on and sing, sing, sing
There ain't nothing like a song, all rightThere ain't nothing gonna stop you
Once you've set your mind
The only people gonna knock you
Are jealous of what they findJust keep a smile right on your face
Don't let 'em get you down
When you wake up tomorrow
The world is spinnin' roundHold your head up high, hey, hey, hey
You gotta be strong, all right
(You gotta be strong, you gotta be strong)
Come on and sing, sing, sing
There ain't nothing like a songWell, lovin's all that I can give you
Baby, that's enough
You ain't easy to satisfy
