How can you tell if he's a worried man
By the way that he walks by the way that he stands
He's working his way thru the family plan
Hands on the wheel he'll spin in the sand?
And they love him in their own small way
The children listen to the songs he plays
The past you just can't hide away
A dream hangin on from yesterday
When your back's against the wall tonight
And you won't surrender without a fight
And it's so far past what's wrong and right
When your back's against the wall tonight
SOLO
Oh what keeps you going thru the long dark night
What gives this man the will to survive
And break on thru and make it all right
When your back's against the wall
So button up your coat against the cold cold wind
Theres's no guarantte anybody wins
Too much about the money
Too much about the sin
Your banking that the wheel will turn over again
When your back's against the wall tonight
And you won't surrender without a fight
And it's so far past what's wrong and right
When your back's against the wall
When your back's against the wall tonight
And you won't surrender without a fight
And it's so far past what's wrong and right
When your back's against the wall tonight
