Nothin' Holds Me Down

DOWN AND OUT BY THE COME AND GO
COUNTIN' OUT MY CHANGE
HUSTLE UP ANOTHER DIME OR TWO
GET READY FOR THE PASSIN' LANE
I GOT A LONG WAY TO GO
BUT A FAST HORSE TO RIDE
AND NOTHIN' HOLDIN' ME DOWN

DON'T YOU WORRY MAMA
I'LL CALL ON THE TELEPHONE
DON'T ASK ME WHERE I'M GO'IN
ALL I KNOW IS WHERE I'VE GONE
AND NOTHIN HOLDIN ME DOWN

DEALER DELT THE CARDS ON DOWN
THE RIVERBOAT SHE PRAYED
I SAID I HEARD OF JESUS
BUT MY SEVENS NEVER CAME
I GOT A LONG WAY TO GO
BUT A FAST HORSE TO RIDE
NOTHIN HOLDIN ME DOWN

DON'T YOU WORRY MAMA
I'LL CALL ON THE TELEPHONE
DON'T ASK ME WHERE I'M GO'IN
ALL I KNOW IS WHERE I'VE GONE
NOTHIN HOLDIN ME DOWN

DIAMONDS UP AGAINST THE WOOD
15S IN MY TRUNK
POLICE WANT TO RUN ME DOWN
BUT THEY COULDN'T CHANGE MY LUCK
GOT A LONG WAY TO GO
I GOT A FAST HORSE
AND NOTHIN HOLDIN ME DOWN

DON'T YOU WORRY MAMA
I'LL CALL ON THE TELEPHONE
DON'T ASK ME WHERE I'M GO'IN
ALL I KNOW IS WHERE I'VE GONE
NOTHIN HOLDIN ME DOWN
