lyrics

Well, I ain’t got my childhood
Or friends I once did know
I ain’t got my childhood
Or friends I once did know
But I still got my voice left
And I carry it anywhere I go
Hey, hey, I guess I’m doing fine

And I ain’t never had much money
But I still get around somehow
No I ain’t never had much money
But I still get around somehow
Many times I have bended
But I ain’t never yet bowed
So hey, hey, I guess I’m doing fine

Hey, it’s trouble, yes it’s trouble
Trouble on my mind
Trouble oh it’s trouble
Trouble on my mind
But all the trouble in this world, Lord
Is much bigger than mine
But hey, hey, I’m guess I’m doing fine

And I never had no army
To jump at my command
No, I ain’t never had no army
To jump at my command
But I don’t need no army
As long as I’ve got one good friend
So hey, hey, I guess I’m doing fine

I’ve been kicked and whipped
I’ve been trampled on
I’ve been shot at just like you
I’ve been kicked and whipped
I’ve trampled on
I’ve been shot at just like you
But as long as the world keeps a-turning
I keep a-turnin’ too
So hey, hey, I guess I’m doing fine

Well, my road might be rocky
The stones might cut my face
My road it might be rocky
The stones might cut my face
But as some folks ain’t got no road at all
They just gotta stand in the same old place
Hey, hey, so I guess I’m doing fine

Instrumental

I fooled myself into thinking
That I was moving along too slow
I fooled myself into thinking
That I was moving along too slow
Stood between the burning sun
And the drizzlin’ snow
With a thousand miles to go

And if you were to ask me
What’s really on my mind
If you were to ask me
What’s really on my mind
I can see a new world is a-comin’
And I won’t be left behind
So hey, hey, I guess I’m doing fine
