[Intro]
We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt
But I’m keepin’ my fingers crossed

[Verse 1]
She was just turning seventeen
He always promised her he’d stay
They were so love crazy, ‘til she had a baby
Then he turned and walked away

[Pre-Chorus]
How long will we keep this goin’ on?
Before we find a way to care for each other
Living for today, we’ll never see tomorrow

[Chorus]
We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt
But I’m keepin’ my fingers crossed

[Verse 2]
He was just out to get a wreck
He was too proud to show his pain
Someone pulled a trigger
Guess he never figured he would lose at his own game
[Pre-Chorus]
How long will we keep this goin’ on?
When no one takes the blame, there’s so many gone
We could find a way, it may not be too late

[Chorus]
We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt
But I’m keepin’ my fingers crossed

[Spoken]
Take a look around
See how hard it is to survive these days
But sometimes you wonder
How long can this keep goin’ on
I guess the only thing you do is keep your fingers crossed

[Pre-Chorus]
How long will we keep this goin’ on?
When no one takes the blame, there’s so many gone
Living for today, we may not see tomorrow

[Outro]
We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt
But I’m keepin’ my fingers crossed
