Lift 'Em On Up

Lately I been wasting this hard hard life

Seems like nothing ever turns out right

The day's too short the nights too long

Meet you in the middle if it turns out wrong hey

Johnny got a job but it aingt no good

Nickels and dimes you know he never could

Seem to make it clean I'm telling you

When the devil got your soul there aingt much you can do

Now he prays for a light in the dark

To lift me on up

(Lift me on up )

An' he swears with his hand on his heart

To lift me on up

(Lift me on up )

You can tear the night down and turn it inside out

Johnny looks around but all he sees

Is a tired old city living on its knees

Blue jean faces fading fast

Backs are breaking but the hard times last

Now he prays for a light in the dark

To lift me on up

(Lift me on up )

An' he swears with his hand on his heart

To lift me on up

(Lift me on up )

You can tear the night down and turn it inside out

You can tear the night down

Yesterdays Johnny

(Johnny Johnny)

Johnny and me used to have a dream

If you ran real fast it'd set you free

So we kept on running but our legs got tired

And the dream just kinda faded when the spirit died hey

Lift me on up

Lift me on up

Now he prays for a light in the dark

To lift me on up

(Lift me on up )

An' he swears with his hand on his heart

To lift me on up

(Lift me on up )

You can tear the night down you can tear the night down

You can tear the night down and turn it inside out

Lift me on up

Lift me on up

Lift me on up

Lift me on up
