Gon' Reach The Top

Workin' hard,
night 'n day,
used to be my game,
but I got a little older,
and I got a little colder.

Fell apart,
night 'n day,
throwing back the beers,
and I grew a little weaker,
I grew a little bleaker.

Lost it all,
over time,
didn't seem to care,
but I'm missing you a little more,
I'm missing you a little more.

But I'm gon' change,
gonna climb that ol' ladder once again,
and I'm gon' reach the top.

I'm a broken down tired ol' piece of meat,
but I'm not finished yet,
As long as I still got workin' bones in my body,
I'm not ever finished yet.

Long road,
'head of me,
I know that for sure,
but I'll grow a little braver,
I'll grow a little stronger.

Don't think,
I got it,
but I'll prove ya wrong,
I'll work a little better,
work a little faster.

Cos I'm gon' change,
gonna climb that ol' ladder once again,
and I'm gon' reach the top.

I'm a broken down tired ol' piece of meat,
but I'm not finished yet,
As long as I still got workin' bones in my body,
I'm not ever finished yet.

I ain't never finished yet.
