Against All Odds - Lyrics
Words and music by Angie Nussey

I didn't know her very well.
It was my mother who would crank her up while driving
in the car to Manitoulin.

And as I listened from the sidelines
I decided all her magic was reserved for only people from the east coast.
But my mother would describe how she told stories of the miners
how my grandpa had survived although his lungs were filled with slivers.

And the voice that told the stories somehow made it all more bearable.
Memories of the past now filled with love...
Against all odds.

And so it happened some time later
I was driving in Mom's car.
Rita's tape had gotten stuck inside the player
and although I could've switched it to the radio,
I decided just to listen to the angel voice I'd heard so long ago.

And when it came to workin' man I felt a pressure in my chest.
I pulled into a station just to listen to the rest
and then I cried...
at the willingness of someone to survive...
Against all odds.

When I think of what a legend is, I see a woman on a stage.
An angel voice surviving in this age.
Against all odds.

(Rita's MacNeil’s song lyrics)
It's a workin' man I am
and I've been down underground.
And I swear to god if I ever see the sun.
Or for any length of time
I can hold it in my mind.
I never again will go down underground.
