I was born on the day before yesterday I had holes in my shoes, i was crying the blues And i didn't have no place to stay
But somehow i know I know, i'm gonna make it this time Yes, somehow i know I know i'm gonna make it this time, yeah.
I was born on a hill not so far away Out of three rubber bands and old gloves for hands, And a suit that had been thrown away They took the jacket and pants Found a brown paper bag And they filled it with straw And to top off the drag They gave me penciled-in eyes And a penciled-in nose And they stuck me up there and said Strike me a pose!!
But somehow i know, i know i'm Gonna make it this time. Yes, somehow i know I'm gonna make it this time (this time i'm gonna make it) Tell me (woo woo woo) Let me sing one (woo woo woo ) So we all can hear it (woo woo woo ) Gonna lift my head up (woo woo woo) Can you feel my spirit? Can you feel my spirit?
And now that i know That i wasn't born yesterday And that i'm fully grown I can stand on my own And nothin's gonna get in my way
Because i'm gonna get mine Gonna turn things around Gonna get myself together Gonna get on down And when i feel that rain come in Through the bottom of my shoes I'm gonna leave 'em by the roadside And quit crying the blues
'Cause i know (i know) I know i'm gonna make it this time Yes, somehow i know (i know) I know i'm gonna make it this time.
(woo woo woo) Gonna sing one, (woo woo woo) So you all can hear it (woo woo woo) Gonna lift my head up (woo woo woo) Can you feel my spirit? Can you feel my spirit? (woo woo woo)
