Wilson Pickett - Toe Hold Lyrics

Wilson Pickett Lyrics

"Toe Hold"

All my life, I've been a poor boy
It's been hard to get a dime
Everything I got
I had to pay for it on time, but that's alright

Long as I got a toe hold
Long as I got a piece of you
Long as I got a toe hold
I can make it through
Look here

I said I went to see a doctor
Thing he talk about is malnutrition
Now I don't try to be a fat man
I gotta look about my ambition
Look here

Long as I got a toe hold
Long as I got a piece of you
Long as I got a toe hold
I can make it through

A lil', lil', lil', lil', lil', lil', lil', lil' toe hold
A lil', lil', lil', lil', lil', lil', lil', lil' toe hold, hey
Hey

So baby, if you're with me
Let the whole world be against me
I don't expect to ever get rich
I'm doin' fine, me diggin' a ditch, that's alright

Long as I got a toe hold
Long as I got a piece of you
Long as I got a toe hold
I can make it through, hey

Ooh, baby, ow, good God
Oh baby, oh baby, oh, I got you, yeah
Long as I got you
Got a lil' toe hold, oh baby
