thinking about tomorrow don’t get me anywhere
I could be a beggar or a multi-millionaire
and I can dream and I can plan
but it wont help me here
holdin… steady
my memory’s an ocean and I’m a little boat
and dwelling on whats dead and gone
don’t help me keep afloat
my darling upped and left me
she didn’t leave a note
I gotta hold…steady
steady as the world turns, steady as a train
steady as a blade of grass whipped by a hurricane
steadily falling down and getting up again…
steady
I get worn down by the detail required
hardship and struggle are my daily diet
I wanted in now there’s no easy way out
I’m rolling…steady
but it aint all a nightmare, not by any means
most days I have moments worth a million in between
and I hang on to that feeling
when it all gets cold and mean
rolling…steady
steady as the world turns....
shifting with the weather stubborn as a mule
knowing very little, crying like a fool
hurting all over like when we were back in school
going….steady
darling I know that that’s the way it is
I thank you sincerely for every tender kiss
and if we never meet again
please remember this
I’m holding…steady
steady as the world turns...
