All my life I been a po' boy

It's been hard to get a dime

Everythin' I got umm hmm

I had to pay for it on time that's but all right

Long as I got a toehold

As long as I got a piece of you

As long as I got a toehold

I can make it through

Now listen

I said I went to my doctor

First thing he talked about is malnutrition

I'm not tryin' to be a fatman

I've got to look after my ambition

Long as I got a toehold

Long as I got a piece of you

Long as I got a toehold

I can make it through

Oh now give it to me baby

A little little little little little little little little little toehold

A little little little little little little little little little toehold

Oh

So baby if you're with me

I'll let the whole world be against me

I don't expect to ever get rich

You may find me diggin' in a ditch

Long as I got a toehold

Long as I got a piece of you

Long as I got a toehold

I can make it through

Oh give it to me baby

A little little little little little little little little little toehold

A little little little little little little little little little toehold

That's all I want baby

I want a little little little little little

Little little little little toehold
