Well it's a hard life in the city
And I'm sleeping on the streets
All those late nights playing rockstar
They have finally got to me
Too much drinking, too many women
They have taken all I've got
But I regret not one minute
'Cause I went and took my shot
But I know
I'll make it through
If I believe
Well it's a cold night in the country
And I'm sleeping in the road
All those hard days in the backyard
They have broken all my bones
Too much lifting, too much plowing
They have taken my very soul
I was born here, and when I die here
I'll be digging my own hole
But I know
I'll make it through
If I believe
Yes I know
I'll make it through
If I believe
If you just let it go
If you open your eyes and see
That it's not all glitter and gold
Then you'll be free
Well it's a tough time and it's scary
And I've fallen to my knees
Your crown of thorns you may place on me
They may cut through but I wont bleed
And when I rise up from the bottom
I won't slow down 'til I'm on top
You have revved up this roaring engine
And it's never gonna stop
But I know
I'll make it through
If I believe
Yes I know
I'll make it through
If I believe (Yeah)
Yes I know
I'll make it through
Yes I know
I'll make it through
Oh I know
I'll make it through
If I believe
