I've seen plenty of trouble
Never been any different I know
You got to run on the double
Keep your eye on the chariot low
Mama let your garden grow
Can't fall down never give in
A lucky star could be following you
You got to show a little givin'
Every day when it's possible to
Mama make my grey sky blue

Just keep those wheels turnin'
And keep your love burnin'
If I'm runnin' wild follow me
Maybe we're still learnin'
Sometimes we're still hurtin'
Just like a child comfort me

We grew up by the mountain
Dirty marks in the palm of our hands
We got the eye for accountin'
We got the pain of a family man
Mama help us all you can

Just keep those wheels turnin'
And keep your love burnin'
If I'm runnin' wild follow me
Maybe we're still learnin'
Sometimes we're still hurtin'
Just like a child comfort me
