Nothin' Holds Me Down

Down and out by the Kum & Go
Countin' out my change
Hustle up another dime or two
Get ready for the passin' lane
Got a long way to go
A fast horse to ride
And nothing holdin' me down
Don’t you worry, mama
I’ll call you on telephone
Don’t ask me where I’m goin'
All I know is where I’ve gone
Nothing holdin' me down
Dealer dealt the cards on down
The riverboat, she prayed
Said I heard of Jesus
But my sevens never came
Got a long way to go
A fast horse to ride
Nothing holdin' me down
Don’t you worry, mama
I’ll call you on telephone
Don’t ask me where I’m goin'
All I know is where I’ve gone
Nothing holdin' me down
Diamonds up against the wood
Fifteens in my trunk
Police want to run me down
But they couldn’t change my luck
I got a long way to go
A fast horse to ride
And nothing holdin' me down
Don’t you worry, mama
Call you on telephone
Don’t ask me where I’m goin'
All I know is where I’ve gone
Nothing holdin' me down
