I'll Be Around

I've been around

A long time

I have my share

Of ups and downs

But if the good Lord (Lord)

Wants me to stay a little longer (A little longer)

I'll stay around

I'll be around (I'll be around)

I have my head up heart

And I smiled

While I was crying

A million tears

But if the good Lord (Lord)

Wants me to stay a little longer (A little longer)

I'll stay around (Uhh)

I'll be around (I'll be around)

But I'll say this

While I'm sitting here with you

There ain't nothing I would much rather do

Than to keep on (Keep on)

Keep on (Keep on)

Living my life this way

I have been strong (I've been strong)

I paid my dues

I cursed and I pray

And I'm saying this blues

And if the good Lord (Lord)

Wants me to stay a little longer (A little longer)

I'll stay around (Uhh)

I'll be around (I'll be around)

And if the good Lord (And if the good Lord)

Wants me those days a little longer (Wants me to stay)

I'll stay around (Mhmm)

I'll be around
