nothin' holds me down

down and out by the come and go, countin' out my change, hustle up another dime or two, get ready for the passin' lane, i got a long way to go, but a fast horse to ride, and nothin' holdin' me down, don't you worry mama, i'll call on the telephone, don't ask me where i'm go'in, all i know is where i've gone, and nothin holdin me down, dealer delt the cards on down, the riverboat she prayed, i said i heard of jesus, but my sevens never came, i got a long way to go, but a fast horse to ride, nothin holdin me down, don't you worry mama, i'll call on the telephone, don't ask me where i'm go'in, all i know is where i've gone, nothin holdin me down, diamonds up against the wood, 15s in my trunk, police want to run me down, but they couldn't change my luck, got a long way to go, i got a fast horse, and nothin holdin me down, don't you worry mama, i'll call on the telephone, don't ask me where i'm go'in, all i know is where i've gone, nothin holdin me down
