Lyrics

I don't wanna be on this road
Like some modern day Tom Joad
I was forced out of my home out on the range
My whole life is in this trunk
All my precious, precious junk
I'm sick and tired of being a drunk and I'm ready to change

I need a strong foundation
I need a strong foundation
With some help from God above and maybe a sweet woman's love
I need a strong foundation

Like anybody I've ever known, I'm just trying to find a home
Maybe someplace it's not snowing every day
Thought I'd found it in Tennessee, where the whiskey was running free
Till the wife had enough of me and my drunken ways

I need a strong foundation
I need a strong foundation
With some help from God above and maybe a sweet woman's love
I need a strong foundation

It's gonna be so good, a little cabin in the woods
The sun shining through the trees, my love will be waiting there for me
I got a job to get us through, so we got plenty of food
And we're clearing out a space for the baby on the way

Oh, but it's all just fantasy
I'm stuck in reality
Wondering where this road will lead and for how long
I got no cash for beer, my stomach's empty but full of fear
Cop says I can't stay here, I gotta move on

I need a strong foundation
I need a strong foundation
With some help from God above and maybe a sweet woman's love
I need a strong foundation
I need a strong foundation
I need a strong foundation
With help from God above, maybe a sweet woman's love
I need a strong foundation

(Alright)
Strong foundation
Strong foundation
Strong foundation
