Lord I’m running

(Lord I’m running)

Trying to make a hundred

(Trying to make a hundred)

Oh, ninety-nine

Ninety-nine and half

You know it won’t do

You said it wouldn’t do

Lord I’m running

(Lord I’m running)

Trying to make a hundred

(Trying to make a hundred)

Ninety-nine (ninety-nine)

And half (and a half)

Won’t do

You said it wouldn’t do

I’m praying hard

(Praying hard)

Trying to make a hundred

Ninety-nine (ninety-nine)

And half (and a half)

You know it won’t do

You said it wouldn’t do
