Something To Believe In

There ain't too much chance for opportunity
 In this town that I live in
 And I don't know what I'm gonna do with me
 And it's getting hard to contend
 With the fact that I ain't going nowhere
 If I don't get out of here
 I need a change of luck and a pick-me-up
 Something more than the bars and the beers
 I need something to believe in
 Something to look forward to
 Something to believe in
 Cause I got a bad case of the blues
 Something to believe in
 Something to make me feel right
 Something to believe in
 Is that asking too much out of life
 Well I quit my job
 And I'm leaving today
 Cause two hundred a week, it don't make it
 I got a ticket going to L.A.
 And I'm hoping I can take it
 Cause I got enough money for about a month before I'll be back on the bus
 But I got faith in me and all new things I see
 I just need a little good luck
 Well I was getting down
 Soon I'd have to leave town
 And I was out walking the street
 When I met a girl
 By the burger world
 And I was needing her company
 By the way she was dressed
 I knew what to expect
 When we got to her motel room
 Ah, but when she found out I came from her hometown
 She starting crying and Lord I did too
 I need something to believe in
 Ah, baby something to look forward to
 Ah, do you feel like I do
 Something to believe in
 She said please stay with me tonight
 I want something to believe in
 Just talk to me and hold me tight
 She was just eighteen
 And I couldn't believe
 What had happen since she left home
 I thought I had some pains
 But it wasn't the same
 As the hell she had known
 So we packed our stuff
 And we got on the bus
 And now it's back to the same old grind
 But if you could have seen
 The way she looked at me
 When she saw the city limit sign
 We got something to believe in
 Something to look forward to
 Something to believe in
 And I believe in me and you
 Something to believe in
 Holding each other tight
 Something to believe in
 That special something called being in love to get us by
