March to the beat of your own little drum
Stay on your feet in case you got to run
They call you city man, try to snuff you out
Sleep with one eye open if you run your mouth✳

Make a big racket and see how it sounds
Keep your mind on your money and your nose clean
You got to state your point, shoot your shot
Nobody cares but you if you make it or not

It's a little thing that I learned long ago
If you want to change, well, it's a long, long row
It's a long, long row

Spend your life spinning your wheels
Just to be beholden to the dollar bill
One minute you're winning and the next you ain't
How long can you run on an empty tank?

It's a little thing that I learned long ago
If you want to change, well, it's a long, long row
It's a long, long row

Yeah, hey
Yeah, hey

Prosperity gospel's in the air
False prophets popping up everywhere
Getting filthy rich while the rest are trying
It's a bait and switch with the flag they're flying

It's a little thing that I learned long ago
If you want to change, well, it's a long, long row
It's a little thing that I learned long ago
If you want to change, well, it's a long, long row

Long, long row
Long, long row
Long, long row
