(Verse 1) Woke up this morning troubles on my mind Bills piling up feels like I'm falling behind Worked hard all week but the money's all gone Can't catch a break feeling like I don't belong (Chorus) Ain't got a nickel ain't got a dime Living on hope in these tough times Struggling to make it but I'm gonna climb Ain't got a nickel ain't got a dime (Verse 2) Got mouths to feed and a roof that leaks Every day's a battle feels like I'm up the creek But I won't give in won't let life bring me down Gonna keep on fighting 'til I turn it all around (Chorus) Ain't got a nickel ain't got a dime Living on hope in these tough times Struggling to make it but I'm gonna climb Ain't got a nickel ain't got a dime (Bridge) Through the darkest nights and the longest days I'll keep pushing forward finding my own ways Though the road is rough and the journey's long I'll keep on singing my hopeful song (Chorus) Ain't got a nickel ain't got a dime Living on hope in these tough times Struggling to make it but I'm gonna climb Ain't got a nickel ain't got a dime Outro (Instrumental fade to end)
