"Bootstraps" lyrics

That's what I'm talking bout

I got this ball a rolling
Rolling down the hill
I always keep in my billfold
A two dollar bill
You never know when your luck will change
And you be down and out
There ain't no sense in praying to heaven
No sense to scream and shout

You got to pick yourself up by your bootstraps
Get yourself on down the road
Pick yourself up, don't look back
It ain't over till the story be told
Pick yourself up by your bootstraps
Get yourself on down the road
Someday soon your gonna wake up in the morning
Your youth be gone, you done got old

I got this train a rolling
A rolling down the line
But I always keep my good luck penny
It says I'm gonna be just fine
You never know when your luck will change
And you be down and out
There ain't no sense I praying to heaven
No sense to scream and shout

You got to pick yourself up by your bootstraps
Get yourself on down the road
Pick yourself up, don't look back
It ain't over till the story be told
You got to pick yourself up by your bootstraps
Get yourself on down the road
Someday soon your gonna wake up in the morning
Your youth be gone, you done got old
