Songtexte
[Verse 1]
Oh, my soul
Sometimes we don't know what to do
We work so hard
Being tough on our own
But now it's me and you
[Verse 2]
Let's give it up, sad bones
'Cause we all fall on hard times
But you don't have to stand up all alone
Just put your hand in mine
[Verse 3]
And climb on a back that's strong
Hey, hey, you can get what you want (Climb on)
Climb on a back that's strong
[Verse 4]
And if you could save me a place in Heaven
With a clean, well-lighted room
I'll muscle up to armageddon
And I'll wave to you, darlin', I'll be home soon
[Verse 5]
And if you could show me the story of love
I would write it again and again
And then you could be the woman you need
If you just let me be the man that I am, yeah
[Verse 6]
Climb on a back that's strong
Hey, hey, you can get what you want (Climb on)
Climb on a back that's strong
[Verse 7]
Oh, I don't know
Sometimes we try too hard to see
But we got one down now
One more to go
That's when you say to me, hey
[Verse 8]
Climb on a back that's strong
Hey, hey, you can get what you want (Climb on)
Climb on a back that's strong
[Verse 9]
Climb on a back that's strong
Hey, hey, you can get what you want (Climb on)
Climb on a back that's strong
[Verse 10]
Oh, yeah, climb on, climb on a back that's strong
Hey, hey, you can get what you want (Climb on)
Climb on a back that's strong
[Verse 11]
Climb on (A back that's strong)
Oh, yeah, you can get what you want (Climb on)
Climb on a back that's strong, oh, yeah
