People say I'm no count
But they aint steppin' in my shoes
And it aint nobodys business
How I do or what I choose

I'm steppin' on
Gotta see tomorrow
Right or wrong
You gotta do what ya gotta do
Aint got time to sing no blues

If I'm playin' in some late night dive
or pitchin' pennies to the crack
or walkin' down some railroad track
with a chicken on my back...

I'm steppin' on
Gotta see tomorrow
Right or wrong
You gotta do what ya gotta do
Aint got time to sing no blues.

If I'm sweatin' in some country field
or hustlin' on some city street
In an alley sellin' goods
Settin' snares up in the woods
Do what it takes to make ends meet

I'm steppin' on
Gotta see tomorrow
Right or wrong
You gotta do what ya gotta do
Aint got time to sing no blues.

If you should find me fishin'
It aint because I lack ambition
But I gotta fill the gap
'tween my belly and my back
And it sho dont come from wishin'

I'm steppin' on
Gotta see tomorrow
Right or wrong
You gotta do what ya gotta do
Aint got time to sing no blues.

People say I'm no count
But they aint steppin' in my shoes
And it aint nobodys business
How I do or what I choose

I'm steppin' on.
