Chorus:
  We gotta work it out
  Get back what we lost
  I see shadows of a doubt,
  But I'm keepin'my fingers crossed
  
  She was just turning 17
  He always promised her he'd stay
  They were so love crazy 'til she had a baby
  Then he turned and walked away.
  
  How long will we keep this goin' on
  Before we find a way
  to care for each other
  Living for today, we`ll never see tomorrow.
  
  Chorus
  
  He was just out to get a wreck
  He was too proud to show his pain
  Someone pulled a trigger guess he never figured
  He would lose at his own game.
  
  How long can we keep this goin' on
  When no one takes the blame
  There's so many gone
  We could find a way, it may not be too late.
  
  Chorus
  
  Take a look around, See how hard it is
  To survive these days
  But sometimes you wonder
  How long can this keep goin' on
  I guess the only thing you do is keep your fingers crossed
  
  How long will we keep this goin' on
  When no one takes the blame
  There's so many gone
  Livin'for today, we may not see tomorrow
  
  Chorus
