Lyric Lift em On Up

Lately I been wastin this hard, hard life
Seems like nothin ever turns out right
The day s too short, the nights too long
Meet you in the middle if it turns out wrong
Johnny got a job but it ain t no good
Nickels and dimes you know he never could
Seem to make it clean, I m tellin you
When the devil got your soul
There ain t much you can do

Now he prays for a light in the dark
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
An he swears with his hand on his heart
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
You can tear the night down
And turn it inside out

Johnny looks around but all he sees
Is a tired old city livin on its knees
Blue jean faces, fadin fast
Backs are breaking but the hard times last

Now he prays for a light in the dark
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
An he swears with his hand on his heart
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
You can tear the night down
And turn it inside out
You can tear the night down

Yesterdays....Johnny (Johnny, Johnny)

Johnny and me used to have a dream
If ya ran real fast, it d set you free
So we kept on running, but our legs got tired
And the dream just kinda faded when the spirit died - Hey

To Lift `Em On Up, Lift `Em On Up
Now he prays for a light in the dark
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
An he swears with his hand on his heart
To Lift `Em On Up (Lift `Em On Up)
You can tear the night down, you can tear the night down
You can tear the night down and turn it inside out

To Lift `Em On Up, Lift `Em On Up, Lift `Em On Up, Lift `Em On Up
