Lyrics Toe Hold - Wilson Pickett Jr.

Toe Hold

All my life I’ve been a poor boy, it’s been hard to get a dime
Everything I got I had to pay for it on time but that’s all right
Long as I got a toe hold, long as I got a piece of you
Long as I got a toe hold, I can make it through
Look here, I said I went to see a doctor, baby, talk about his malnutrition
Now I don’t try to be a fat man, I gotta look about my ambition, look here
Long as I got a toe hold, long as I got a piece of you
Long as I got a toe hold, I can make it through
A li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, toe hold
A li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, toe hold, hey
So baby, if you’re with me, let the whole world be against me
I don’t expect to ever get rich, I’m doin' fine, me diggin' a ditch,
that’s all right
Long as I got a toe hold, long as I got a piece of you
Long as I got a toe hold, I can make it through
Ah, ooh, baby, ow, good God
