[Verse 1]
One little ol' shack
Midway back
Behind the brushes and the trees
Whoa, yeah (Yeah)
One little ol' well (Mmm hmm)
Sittin' right on the trail (Mmm hmm)
Oh what a life we had to live
Yes there were hard times
And we didn't have a dime
Talkin' about now me
Me and my, family (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
There was my brother Ronnie James
My sister Barbara Ann
And there was my mom and dad
And good ol' me
Whoa, yeah (Yeah)
There was an old dog named Jake (Mmm hmm)
We had one hoe and one rake (Mmm hmm)
That was all we had
You see
Except love and faith
And hope for a better day
Just for me
Me and my, family
[Verse 3]
Yes I rose 'fore the sun
People that had chores to be done
Before mom called me in
Called me in to eat
Whoa, yeah
I walked five miles to school
My soles draggin' on my shoes
Our shoes hand-me-down to me (Ahh)
But I kept this in mind (Ahh)
There was gonna be better times (Ahh)
Just for me
Me and my, family
I'm in a goin' mode for you

[Outro]
(Me and my, family)
(Me and my, family)
(Me and my, family)
(Me and my, family)
