LYRICS:

something big is comin' my way
i can feel it in my gut
something big will happen today
something real but i dunno' what

will i be lucky that i came to work
will i be wishin' that i stayed in bed
either way, i'll see it to the end
i will pray to God to give me strength

i have had this feelin' before
so i know i'll be okay
keep my head up, heart open wide
and be true to who i am

i know this world is full of shit and flies
i know how often it comes with surprise
but i'm fighter and i like to fight
i like to gamble when the money's right
and i can guarantee a real good time

so, lord, keep an eye on me today
help me keep my mouth in check
let me keep my job for
one
more
day

one more day of this might kill me
but i know it's for the best
and so i pray to you, oh lord
for strength and i will do the rest to the best of my abilities

somethin' huge is headed for me
i can feel it in my bones
i dunno if i'm ready or not
but i feel i'm good to go

it feels like an earthquake
it trembles with heartache
this is something i cannot control
this is something that has gotten of me
it's not easy but i know it's up to me to sort it out
