How can you tell if he's a worried man
D G C D
By the way that he walks by the way that he stands
G C D G
He's working his way thru the family plan
C D
Hands on the wheel he'll spin in the sand ??
G C D G
And they love him in their own small way
D G C D
The children listen to the songs he plays
G C D G
The past you just can't hide away
C C D
A dream hangin on from yesterday
G C D G
When your back's against the wall tonight
Em C
And you won't surrender without a fight
G D Em
And it's so far past what's wrong and right
C D G
When your back's against the wall tonight

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
D G C D
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
