Up Against the World

I'm out on the road

I bear a heavy load

I'm getting by

Wide open eyes

All that is new

Will surely fall through

There you will stand

My longtime special man

You call me heavy, or you don't call at all

Squeezing my fingers up against the wall

And we reached our heaven, it's a long way to fall

It's not you against the world

It's just you up against your long time girl

Have you tried to cry?

Or is it better to deny?

Cry in the night

Your sweet lullaby

Too much good to lose

When you're back, broken, and boozed

You won't help yourself

Can't be nobody else

You call me heavy, or you don't call at all

Squeezing my fingers up against the wall

And we reached our heaven, it's a long way to fall

It's not you against the world

It's just you up against your long time girl

It's not you against the world

It's just you up against your long time girl
