Ain't enough time in the doggone day
And I ain't got a dime any doggone way
So I'll keep singing my song
Though nobody hears me
I'll do it all my life long
Cause I believe that it heals me
And I ain't gonna be
No kind of pitiful
I ain't gonna be
No kind of pitiful
I ain't gonna be
No kind of pitiful
Very much longer
And ain't enough time and very little space
And though time is unkind I'll plaster a smile to my face
And keep singing my song
Though maybe you've heard me
I'll do it all my life long
Though it may sound absurd, I really feel that
I ain't gonna be
No kind of pitiful
I ain't gonna be
No kind of pitiful
I ain't gonna be
No kind of pitiful
Very much longer - cause I'm growing stronger
Still ain't enough time in the doggone day
But I've got plenty of dimes now - just no reason to pay
So I'll keep singing my song
Though everybody's heard me
I'll do it all my life long
Even if they desert me, I
I ain't gonna be
No kind of pitiful
I ain't gonna be
No kind of pitiful
I ain't gonna be
No kind of pitiful
Very much longer, told you
I ain't gonna be
No kind of pitiful
I ain't gonna be
No kind of pitiful
I ain't gonna be
No kind of pitiful
Very much longer
Cause I'm growing stronger
I'm growing stronger
Stronger and stronger
