The Ballad Of El Goodo Lyrics - Big Star's Third

Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh 

But I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds 

It gets so hard at times like now to hold on 

My guns they're waiting to be stuck by 

At my side is God 

And there ain't no one gonna turn me 'round 

Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round 

There's people around who tell you that they know 

The places where they send you, and it's easy to go 

They'll zip you up and dress you down 

Stand you in a row 

But you know you don't have to 

You can just say no 

And there ain't no one gonna turn me 'round 

Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round 

Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round 

Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round 

I've been built up and trusted 

Broke down and busted 

But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours 

Just if we can 

Just, ah, hold on 

Hold on 

Hold on 

Hold on 

Years ago my heart was set to live, oh 

But I've been trying hard against strong odds 

It gets so hard at times like now to hold on 

Well, I'll fall if I don't fight 

And at my side is God 

Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round 

Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round 

Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round 

Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round 

Hold on 

Hold on 

Hold on 

Hold on
