Lyrics
Bless my heart and soul
I tried to stay here
Gonna keep on trying 'til I die
Living on this planet of confusion
It takes all I can do just to get by
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Living my life on a shoe string
Trying to make ends meet from day to day
Oh, oh, oh, I'm living my life on a shoe string
'Cause I know where there's a will, there's a way
Today's standards of living won't hold water
I'm finding holes in everything
I want to tell the truth
A wing and a prayer is all I've got to lean on
People keep planting pistons
How can you do?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ah
I'm living my life on a shoe string
Trying to make all my efforts pay
Sometimes I could feel my whole burden
And I find myself a victim of circumstance
Then I use everything I've got just to hang in there
'Cause I know that tomorrow is another chance
Ooh, my God
Telling you I'm living my life on a shoe string
I believe I can make it if I try
I gotta keep on living my life on a shoe string
Gotta keep on trying 'til I die
Living my life on a shoe string
Pushing for the outcome everyday
