Counting Crows - The Ballad Of El Goodo Lyrics

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
And at my side is God

And there ain't no one going to turn me around
There ain't no one going to turn me 'round

There's people around who'll 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 can just say no

And there ain't no one going to turn me around
There 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 hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
But I've been trying hard against strong odds
It gets so hard at 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 around
There ain't no one going to turn me 'round

Hold on
