BLACK STONE CHERRY
"Keep On Keepin' On"
(Dave Bassett / Black Stone Cherry)

I'm the heir to absolutely nothin'
All I have is time on my hands
I asked the Lord to give me somethin'
But on my knees it's hard to make a stand
All my sisters are caught up in the city
All my brothers are fighting in the sand
I speak the truth but nobody believes me
You hear my words but do you understand

Do you understand?
When everything that's good is gone
Got to keep on keepin' on
Till I get where I belong, got to keep on keepin' on
I said keep on keepin' on

Every day I fight another battle
I got the scars to prove that I can heal
And as the world starts to unravel
I hang on tight to anything that's real

Tell me what's real
When everything that's good is gone
Got to keep on keepin' on
Till I get where I belong, got to keep on keepin' on

Through all the blood and all the tears
I'm here laughing at my fears
Between the sorrow and the pain
I'm still standing one more day

When everything that's good is gone
Got to keep on keepin' on
Till I get where I belong, got to keep on keepin' on
When everything that's good is gone
Got to keep on keepin' on
Till I get where I belong, got to keep on keepin' on
I said keep on keepin' on
