I've seen plenty of trouble

Never been any different I know

You got to run on the double

Keep your eye on the chariot low

Mama let your garden grow

Can't fall down never give in

A lucky star could be following you

You got to show a little givin'

Every day when it's possible to

Mama make my grey sky blue



Just keep those wheels turnin'

And keep your love burnin'

If I'm runnin' wild follow me

Maybe we're still learnin'

Sometimes we're still hurtin'

Just like a child comfort me



We grew up by the mountain

Dirty marks in the palm of our hands

We got the eye for accountin'

We got the pain of a family man

Mama help us all you can



Just keep those wheels turnin'

And keep your love burnin'

If I'm runnin' wild follow me

Maybe we're still learnin'

Sometimes we're still hurtin'

Just like a child comfort me
