Skin I’m In

General Johnson, Jeffrey Bowen

Oh, I've been standing in the background too long
Oh Lord, I've been standing in the background too long
Hey, hey
Many school qualified
Many jobs still denied
Worked my fingers right down to the bone
Nothing to show for it but an unpaid home

It's so hard to win in the skin I'm in, oh Lord
It's so hard to win in the skin I'm in, hey, hey

Mama and papa lived and died
Accomplished nothing, Lord, Lord knows they tried
And here I am, living in better days
Stuffin' and scrapin' the same damn way

It's so hard to win in the skin I'm in, oh Lord
It's so hard to win in the skin I'm in, hey, hey

It's so hard to win in the skin I'm in, oh
It's so hard to win in the skin I'm in, so hard to win
Oh, I gotta keep running, gotta keep on running
Running, gotta stay in the race
Gotta keep on running, gotta win my place
I'm my own man and I know that I belong
To resist, I gotta be twice as strong, oh Lord
Running, running
In the mud, sweat and blood
