| There ain’t too much chance for opportunity
|
| In this town that I live in
|
| And I don’t know what I’m gonna do with me
|
| And it’s getting hard to contend
|
| With the fact that I ain’t going nowhere
|
| If I don’t get out of here
|
| I need a change of luck and a pick-me-up
|
| Something more than the bars and the beers
|
| I need something to believe in
|
| Something to look forward to
|
| Something to believe in
|
| Cause I got a bad case of the blues
|
| Something to believe in
|
| Something to make me feel right
|
| Something to believe in
|
| Is that asking too much out of life
|
| Well I quit my job
|
| And I’m leaving today
|
| Cause two hundred a week, it don’t make it
|
| I got a ticket going to L. A
|
| And I’m hoping I can take it
|
| Cause I got enough money for about a month before I’ll be back on the bus
|
| But I got faith in me and all new things I see
|
| I just need a little good luck
|
| Well I was getting down
|
| Soon I’d have to leave town
|
| And I was out walking the street
|
| When I met a girl
|
| By the burger world
|
| And I was needing her company
|
| By the way she was dressed
|
| I knew what to expect
|
| When we got to her motel room
|
| Ah, but when she found out I came from her hometown
|
| She starting crying and Lord I did too
|
| I need something to believe in
|
| Ah, baby something to look forward to
|
| Ah, do you feel like I do
|
| Something to believe in
|
| She said please stay with me tonight
|
| I want something to believe in
|
| Just talk to me and hold me tight
|
| She was just eighteen
|
| And I couldn’t believe
|
| What had happen since she left home
|
| I thought I had some pains
|
| But it wasn’t the same
|
| As the hell she had known
|
| So we packed our stuff
|
| And we got on the bus
|
| And now it’s back to the same old grind
|
| But if you could have seen
|
| The way she looked at me
|
| When she saw the city limit sign
|
| We got something to believe in
|
| Something to look forward to
|
| Something to believe in
|
| And I believe in me and you
|
| Something to believe in
|
| Holding each other tight
|
| Something to believe in
|
| That special something called being in love to get us by |
