Climb On Lyrics

Oh, ho my soul
Sometimes we don't know what to do
We work so hard being tough on our own
But now it's me and you

Let's give it up sad bones
'Cause we all fall on hard times
But you don't have to stand up all alone
Just put your hand in mine

And climb on a back that's strong
Hey hey
You can get what you want
Climb on a back that's strong

And If you could save me a place in heaven
With a clean well lighted room
I'll muscle up to Armageddon
And I'll wave to you darlin' be home soon

And if you could show me the story of love
I would write it again and again
And then you could be the woman you need
If you just let me be the man I am

Climb on a back that's strong
Hey hey
You can get what you want
Climb on a back that's strong

Oh, I don't know sometimes we try too hard to see
But we got one down now one more to go
That's when you say to me

Climb on a back that's strong
Hey hey
You can get what you want
Climb on a back that's strong

Climb on a back that's strong
Hey hey
You can get what you want
Climb on a back that's strong

Climb on a back that's strong
Hey hey
You can get what you want
Climb on a back that's strong

Climb on a back that's strong
Oh yeah
You can get what you want
Climb on a back that's strong
