The Ballad of El Goodo

by Big Star

Years ago, my heart was set to live
But I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God
And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
There’s people round who’ll tell you that they know
And places where to send you, and it's easy to go
They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row
But you know you don't have to, you can just say no
I've been built up and trusted, broke down and busted
But they'll get theirs and we’ll get ours

if you can just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Years ago my heart was set to live
and I've been trying hard against strong odds
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
Well, I'll fall if I don't fight, and at my side is God

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
