Hang On In There Lyrics - Artist : Bobby Womack
You see y'all, I left home at the age of 12
Mama couldn't understand, but she wished me well
I remember her saying, she said

Son, there's gonna be a rough road ahead
I'll never forget the words my Mama said
She said
Ooh, hang on in there
It might cost you your heart sometimes
Ooh, I think I'll hang on there
Listen to me, now

Even though yo' Mama gonna follow your desire
Things she told me, boy she sure said it right
She said, I thought I'd let you know what you're up against
They're gonna try to keep your back up agaist the fence

They've got a way of breakin' your systems down
But make them proud - whenever there's a will, you'll find a way around

Heyy! Ooh ooh, hang on in there
She kept tellin' me y'all, she said
Ooh, I think I'll hang on in there, huh

You know I'm getting older now
But I'm still hanging on
And when I'm gone I got a little something
I hope you carry on
You know, this is a new day
And this is a new generation
Doin' things their own way

Ooh, that's why I gotta hang on in there
Sometimes I wanna cry, sometimes
Ooh, hang on in there
Heh heh heh heh heh
Well, Mama, I never forgot what you said
I sing that little song to my boy
Every night before he go to bed (Ooh, hang on in there)
I'm telling him like you told me, Mama
(Ooh, hang on in there)
