Lyrics
Well I've been riding ninety days in the pouring rain
I'm searching for my joy but I don't know where it's at, what a pain
My mama used to say you have to fight to win your life
Now I know what she meant that's why I strive
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I'm bound for glory
I was a waitress at a diner in Memphis called Hobo's Home
And working around the clock just to make it on my own
One day I collapsed, then I spent five weeks in bed
I got a little lost but I never forget what mama said
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I'm bound for glory
I've got the feeling deep inside
I've got the feeling, I can not hide
I wonder what is next and wonder which way the winds blow
But I will find my mission only I can fulfill
Maybe tomorrow is the day or maybe right before I die
One thing I know for sure is I've got to try
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I'm bound for glory
