Toe Hold - Al Kooper

All my life I’ve been a poor boy

It’s been hard to nail a dime

Everything I got, yeah

You know I had to pay for it on time

But that’s all right

As long as I got a toe hold

Long as I got a piece of you

As long as I got a toe hold

I can make it through, yeah

Listen, y’know I went to see my doctor

First thing he talked about was malnutrition

Now, I ain’t trying to be no fat man

Just look at me

Just to love you now is my main ambition

You know what I need

As long as I got a toe hold

Long as I got a piece of you

As long as I got a toe hold

I can make it through

Baby, let me have it

Just a li-li-li-li-li-li toe hold

Baby, you know I got-gotta have a toe hold

Play it now, come on

So baby, if you’re with me

Let the whole world be against me

Now, I don’t expect to ever be rich

You know you form a line down in a ditch

But that’s all right

As long as I got a toe hold

Just a little piece of you

As long as I got a toe hold

Baby, I can make it through

Let me, let me, let me have a li-li-li-li-li-li toe hold

Baby, just a li-li-li-li toe hold

As long as I got a toe hold

Just a little piece of you

As long as I got a toe hold

I can make it through

Toe hold

You know I got-got-gotta have it now

Yeah, I gotta have a toe hold

We’ll make it through

Aah, yeah!

Got-gotta have a toe hold, baby

Oooh, yeah

Oh, we’ll make it through
