We Can Make It If We Try

[Verse 1]
Though the road be dark and dreary
The pathway burning you dry
Feel life really leading us on, girl
We can make it if we try
The winds may rage, the stars may blow
Discouragement at each dead end
No guiding light to lead us forward
No helping hand from our friends

[Chorus]
We can make it, pretty baby
We can make it if we try
We can make it, a-sweet darlin'
We can make it if we try (In other words)

[Verse 2]
If you love me like you say you do
You've got to take a better hold
'Cause it takes lot of determination, girl
From your heart, mind and soul
And don't let nobody steer our course
'Cause I know this one'll always try
And if we feel like the world is against us, girl
We've got to look into each others eyes

[Chorus]
Tell us if we can make it (Make it)
We can make it (Make it if we try)
We can make it, sweet darling
We can make it if we try
We can make it (Got to make it)
Baby (Got to make it)
Make it if we try (Make it)
We got to make it (Make it)
Make it if we try (Don't listen to nobody else)

[Refrain]
We can make it, a-pretty baby
We can make it if we try
We can make it, sweet darlin'
We can make it if we try
(If you love me like you say you do
You got to show me that you love me true, girl
If you love me like you say you do
You got to tell me if you're tellin' the truth, girl)
We can make it if we try
We can make it, pretty baby
We can make it (We can make it if we try)
Make it, yeah (We can make it if we try)
(Got, got, got, got, got, got, got, got, make it)
(We can make it if we try
Make it, make it, make it if we try
Make it, make it, make it if we try)

[Outro]
We can make it
We got to make it if we try
(Make it)
