You see, I left home at the age of 12
Mama couldn't understand, but she wished me well
I remember her saying, she said
Son, there's gonna be a rough road ahead
I'll never forget the words my mama said
She, said
Oooh, baby, hang on in there
It might cost you your heart sometimes
Oooh, I think I'll hang on there
Listen to me, now
Even though yo' mama gonna follow your desire
Things she told me, boy she sure said it right
She said,"I thought I'd let you know what you're up against"
"They're gonna try to keep your back up agaist the fence"
"They've got a way of breakin' your systems down
But make them proud -- Whenever there's a will, you'll find another way around"
Heyyy!! Ooooh oooh, hang on in there
(talking) She kept talkin' to me lord, She said--
Ooooh, I think I'll hang on in there -- Heh
You, Know I'm getting older now, long
But I'm still hanging on
When I'm gone I got a little something
I hope I can carry on
