Toe Hold Lyrics - Honky Tonk Angel - Ellen Mcilwaine

All my life I been a po' girl, 

It's been hard to get a dime 

Everythin' I got, umm, hmm 

I had to pay for it on time, but that's all right 

Long as I got a toehold 

As long as I got a piece of you 

As long as I got a toehold, 

I can make it through. 

Now listen 

I said I went to my doctor, 

First thing he talked about is malnutrition 

I'm not tryin' to be a fatman, 

I've got to look after my ambition. 

Long as I got a toehold 

Long as I got a piece of you 

Long as I got a toehold, 

I can make it through. 

Oh, now give it to me baby 

A little little little little little little little little little toehold 

A little little little little little little little little little toehold 

Oh! 

So, baby!, if you're with me, 

I'll let the whole world be against me. 

I don't expect to ever get rich, 

You may find me diggin' in a ditch. 

Long as I got a toehold 

Long as I got a piece of you 

Long as I got a toehold, 

I can make it through. 

Oh, give it to me baby 

A little little little little little little little little little toehold 

A little little little little little little little little little toehold 

Owwww! 

That's all I want baby 

I want a little little little little little little little little little toehold 

I want a little little little little little little little little little toehold 

Owwww!
