We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt
But I'm keepin' my fingers crossed
She was just turning 17
He always promised her he'd stay
They were so love crazy 'til she had a baby
Then he turned and walked away
How long will we keep this goin' on
Before we find a way
To care for each other
Living for today, we'll never see tomorrow
We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt
But I'm keepin' my fingers crossed
He was just out to get a wreck
He was too proud to show his pain
Someone pulled a trigger guess he never figured
He would lose at his own game
How long can we keep this goin' on
When no one takes the blame
There's so many gone
We could find a way, it may not be too late
We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt
But I'm keepin' my fingers crossed
Take a look around, see how hard it is
To survive these days but sometimes you wonder
How long can this keep goin' on
I guess the only thing you do is keep your fingers crossed
How long will we keep this goin' on
When no one takes the blame
There's so many gone
Livin' for today, we may not see tomorrow
We gotta work it out
Get back what we lost
I see shadows of a doubt
But I'm keepin' my fingers crossed
