[Verse 1]
From the moment that I get up 'til the time I go to bed
Lord, I just keep searching for a way to get ahead
I'm on a narrow highway, Lord, I'm doing fine
As I make my way to Heaven a little at a time
A little at a time
[Verse 2]
There's workers need the sunshine and the farmers need the rain
Fields that need the planting 'cause the cattle need the grain
I need a little shove, Lord, I'm a-getting way behind
But I'm gonna catch up a little at a time
A little at a time
[Verse 3]
I ain't got much down here, Lord, so I'll do the best I can
And when I get to glory, I'm gonna be a wealthy man
I'll be living in a mansion and I won't owe a dime
I'm laying up my treasures there a little at a time
A little at a time
[Verse 4]
Times are getting harder and the prices are going up
Everything I do, it don't seem to be enough
And when I get to Heaven, I'll put all my cares behind
I'm gonna take it in, Lord, a little at a time
A little at a time
[Outro]
I'm a-gonna take it in, Lord, a little at a time
A little at a time
