I've been workin' all my life

Workin' hard for all my life

Tryin' to find a reason for livin'

Tryin' not to take too much without givin'

Never saw no rainbows in my sky



But don't you see I'm

Halfway over the hill

I'm passin' over the hardest part

I'm halfway over the hill

It's gotta get easier from now on



I've been runnin' all my life

Lord, I've run for all my life

Seein' joy and seein' people grievin'

Seein' towns and don't remember leavin'

Never saw no blue birds in my sky



But don't you see I'm

Halfway over the hill

I'm passin' over the hardest part

I'm halfway over the hill

It's gotta get easier from now on



Oh I'm halfway over the hill

I'm passin' over the hardest part

I'm halfway over the hill

It's gotta get easier from now on
