Here I stand
With gravel gut and heart in hand
I'm only asking for a second chance
A little better luck and circumstance
All I've got
I've never been the kind to ask a lot
I'm only asking for a second shot
A little helping hand and loving touch

So pick me up when I can't go on
Life ticking away like a time bomb
Still a hundred million miles from home
Got a long way, long long way
We got a long way to go, baby
Got a long way to go, yes I know
We got a long way to go, baby
This time

Roughneck skin
Hell, even losers find a way to win
And that's the way I want to feel again
Dig up a little bit of confidence
Never say die
Don't got the answers, I don't question why
Just need a little bit of extra time
Don't raise my head, I keep a little pride
So pick me up when I can't go on
Life ticking away like a time bomb
We're still a hundred million miles from home
Got a long way, long long way
We got a long way to go, baby
Got a long way to go, yes I know
We got a long way to go, baby
This time

So pick me up when I can't go on
Life ticking away like a time bomb
Still a hundred million miles from home
Got a long way, long long way to go
Long way, long long way to go
Long way, long long way to go
