Well I did not lose a nickel on the hard times you gave me

And I don’t necessarily need anybody to save me

I’m a little bit shy of an answer

But I know it’s lyin’ here someplace

I wouldn’t doubt staring me right in the face

Hallelujah, I just caught my breath today

And I was runnin’, runnin’ every step of the way

Glory be I just caught that tune today

And I believe but I ain’t got nothin’ to say

Well I heard it was gonna’ get better

And that bright light was gonna’ shine

Well if it does I sure hope I get mine

And I heard that the angel of mercy

Was gonna’ give us a break real soon

I just hope I can hang on until she do

Hallelujah, I just caught my breath today

And I was runnin’, runnin’ every step of the way

Glory be I just caught that tune today

And I believe but I ain’t got nothin’ to say

Repeat refrain
