Lyrics

thinking about tomorrow don?t get me anywhere
I could be a beggar or a multi-millionaire
and I can dream and I can plan
but it wont help me here
holdin? steady
my memory?s an ocean and I?m a little boat
and dwelling on whats dead and gone
don?t help me keep afloat
my darling upped and left me
she didn?t leave a note
I gotta hold?steady

steady as the world turns, steady as a train
steady as a blade of grass whipped by a hurricane
steadily falling down and getting up again?
steady

I get worn down by the detail required
hardship and struggle are my daily diet
I wanted in now there?s no easy way out
I?m rolling?steady
but it aint all a nightmare, not by any means
most days I have moments worth a million in between
and I hang on to that feeling
when it all gets cold and mean
rolling?steady

shifting with the weather stubborn as a mule
knowing very little, crying like a fool
hurting all over like when we were back in school
going?.steady
darling I know that that?s the way it is
I thank you for each tender kiss
and if we never meet again
please remember this
my heart is steady
