[VERSE 1]

 

Been twenty dollars short of being on the street

Hanging out where the dead ends meet

But I ain’t a man to get on my knees and crawl

Cause Daddy taught me to stand and fight

Said, look straight ahead and just do what’s right

And I’ve found that hard times ain’t that hard at all…..

 

[CHORUS]

 

With my back against the wall, I can see

Everything the world throws at me

This rock I lean on makes it hard to fall

I take it as it comes, do all I can

To make myself a better man

At the end of the day you’ll find me standing tall

With my back against the wall

 

[VERSE 2]

 

The Good Lord gives and he takes away

For every dollar I earn there’s two to pay

But I’ve learned to live behind the eight ball

Cause he gave me a heart and working hands

And he never gives more than I can stand

When the going gets tough it ain’t that tough at all…..

 

[CHORUS]

 

With my back against the wall, I can see

Everything the world throws at me

The rock I lean on makes it hard to fall

I take it as it comes, do all I can

To make myself a better man

At the end of the day you’ll find me standing tall

With my back against the wall

 

[BRIDGE]

 

Gotta find the will to find a way

Can’t change what happened yesterday

Got my faith, got peace of mind

Cause I don’t worry bout what’s behind…..

 

 

[REPEAT CHORUS]
