    Lyrics

    This old world it started out mean, getting meaner still
    Some folks get religion, some folks take a pill
    Some folks just check out, and some folks stay
    You can be sure I didn't come this far not to go all the way

    If you gamble on your heart, if you bet it all on grace
    They can read it on you like a tattoo on your face
    But you got to lay your money down if you wanna play
    You can be sure I didn't come this far not to go all the way

    Woody said the fascists are bound to lose, but man they sure do linger
    Last I heard the invisible hand was giving us the finger
    But if Dr. King was here, you know what he would say
    You can be sure we didn't come this far not to go all the way

    We didn't plant these shade trees, we didn't dig this well
    The old folks did it way back when and as far as I can tell
    Forward's the only way left to repay
    You can be sure we didn't come this far not to go all the way

    You got a restless heart, that's alright with me
    You go on and do your thing, honey I still believe
    You're gonna let me cook you breakfast some fine day
    You can be sure I didn't come this far not to go all the way

    So I believe I'll just stay hungry, keep on askin' why
    Keep living for a living, lighter as the years roll by
    "Dream on," they said, and I said, "okay"
    You can be sure I didn't come this far not to go all the way
