I don't care much for being a rich man, I want more for myself than that
  And nothing's gonna keep me from my dreams
  Momma I'm tired of trying to adjust, to your circumstantial love
  Because on and on and on,
  I wasn't good enough
  But I keep on trying', I keep on tryin'
  I hope someday you believe in me like I believe in you
  Maybe I'll find what I'm looking for, maybe I'll always want more
  I don't care too much for being a poor man, desperation don't suit me well
  But I can't find a fair way of succeeding
  Momma can you tell me why, the world is such a lonely place?
  If every one is searching for peace and happiness
  But I keep on tryin', I keep on tryin'
  I hope someday you believe in my like I believe in you
  Maybe I'll never understand, maybe I'll keep doing the best I can
  The best I can
