Lyrics
Keep On
Everybody goes through things they really shouldn’t ought to
I’ve been there and back again through all the things I’ve been through
I KEEP ON
Charley blew the house to the ground.
Francis washed it all down town.
I still have bills that I can’t pay.
But I keep going – I keep goin on
I KEEP ON - I KEEP ON
Life has had its ups and downs, And that is all I’m saying.
I’ve had it all, living on the street. I’m Happy to be playing.
My numbers came out yesterday, I had no cash so I didn’t play
I just found out the other day, an old friend died a horrible way
I KEEP ON I KEEP ON I KEEP ON - I keep going on
[Guitar solo]
Everything the past few years has Only made us stronger.
They try to get away with every little thing But we can hold on longer
No matter who you are, or what you do,
The world will try to take it all from you.
I don’t know how and I don’t know why,
The harder it gets - the harder you’ve got to try
I KEEP ON - I KEEP ON
I KEEP ON - I KEEP ON
I KEEP ON - I KEEP ON
