Here I stand With gravel gut and heart in hand I'm only asking for a second chance A little better luck and circumstance All I've got I've never been the kind to ask a lot I'm only asking for a second shot A little helping hand and loving touch So pick me up when I can't go on Life ticking away like a time bomb Still a hundred million miles from home Got a long way long long way We got a long way to go baby Got a long way to go yes I know We got a long way to go baby This time Roughneck skin Hell even losers find a way to win And that's the way I want to feel again Dig up a little bit of confidence Never say die Don't got the answers I don't question why Just need a little bit of extra time Don't raise my head I keep a little pride So pick me up when I can't go on Life ticking away like a time bomb still a hundred million miles from home Got a long way long long way We got a long way to go baby Got a long way to go yes I know We got a long way to go baby This time So pick me up when I can't go on Life ticking away like a time bomb Still a hundred million miles from home Got a long way long long way to go Long way long long way to go Long way long long way to go
