Toe Hold Lyrics

All my life I've been a poor boy
It's been hard to nail a dime
Everything I got, yeah
You know I had to pay for it on time
But that's all right

As long as I got a toe hold
Long as I got a piece of you
As long as I got a toe hold
I can make it through, yeah

Listen, y'know I went to see my doctor
First thing he talked about was malnutrition
Now, I ain't trying to be no fat man
Just look at me
Just to love you now is my main ambition
You know what I need

As long as I got a toe hold
Long as I got a piece of you
As long as I got a toe hold
I can make it through
Baby, let me have it
Just a li-li-li-li-li-li toe hold
Baby, you know I got-gotta have a toe hold
Play it now, come on

So baby, if you're with me
Let the whole world be against me
Now, I don't expect to ever be rich
You know you form a line down in a ditch
But that's all right

As long as I got a toe hold
Just a little piece of you
As long as I got a toe hold
Baby, I can make it through
Let me, let me, let me have a li-li-li-li-li-li toe hold
Baby, just a li-li-li-li toe hold

As long as I got a toe hold
Just a little piece of you
As long as I got a toe hold
I can make it through

Toe hold
You know I got-got-gotta have it now
Yeah, I gotta have a toe hold
We'll make it through
Aah, yeah!
Got-gotta have a toe hold, baby
Oooh, yeah
Oh, we'll make it through
