You've made your decision to leave
There's no turning 'round
Now that you've got a reprieve
You must stand your ground
Some of the others are weak
So you must be strong
A hundred and fifty-five dollars won't last very long
Ma, will we make out?
Do you think that this old car will last?
Pa, is there some doubt
If our bad luck will stay in the past, ah?
Well I'm hoping it's so, but you can't really know till the end
And they tell me that all things must change but they begin again
Listen to the motor and the road, and how does it feel?
Listen with your ears and your hands on the steering wheel
Ma, will we make out?
Do you think that this old car will last?
Pa, is there some doubt
If our bad luck will stay in the past, ah?
Listen now boys, what your ma has told you
There is no way we can tell
We've got to face this road together
And have some faith in ourselves
Ma, will we make out?
Do you think that this old car will last?
Pa, is there some doubt
If our bad luck will stay in the past, ah?
Ma, will we make out?
