Lookin' Up Songtext
von Pat Travers

Everybody tells the same old story
Every daughter, every mother′s son
It takes no guts, you know you get no glory
Just sitting, waiting for your shit to come
Someone will see it filled with gold
Out of the top in every hole
Yeah, yeah
I've seen it come and slip away
Hope every time, now I know I′m not dead

I like a few from up the top
Gimme it all and never stop
All I need is a little luck
And I'm sure that things could finally be looking up
Looking up
Finally be looking up


Don't wanna see more days just filled with sorrow
I′ve had my share of missing all the breaks
Don′t wanna have to beg or steal or borrow
Still, I'm not above just doing what it takes
Live in a world consumed with greed
A few get rich and the rest just bleed
Work like a slave too, just to get by
For a tiny slice of a shrinking pie

I′d like a few from up the top
Gimme it all and never stop
All I need is a little luck
And I'm sure that things could finally be looking up
Looking up
Finally be looking up

I know sometimes I should not be complaining
Like when I see the child grow into the man
Well, there′s gonna be some days it won't stop raining
But my son can always take hold of my hand
I can in his eyes he will be strong
Teach him to know what′s right from wrong
Ooh, there's a beauty to life when you get it right
A great second leg fit nice and tight
Oh, yeah, yeah


I'd like a few from up the top
Gimme it all and never stop
All I need is a little luck
And I′m sure that things could finally be looking up
Looking up
Finally be looking up
Looking up
Finally looking up
