John T. Wurzer - Keep Going Lyrics

Sometimes life is a long hard road and a difficult place to be
Sometimes love is a heavy load and tortures you constantly
Sometimes good is a neighborhood and sometimes a lonely place
Sometimes times is as hard as these rhymes
And it's hard to keep a smile on your face

If you're going through hell, keep going
If your boat is sinking, keep rowing
If your balloon is leaking, keep blowing
Keep doing the things you do
If your heart is breaking, keep caring
If your hands are shaking, keep daring
If you fall flat broke, keep sharing
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back
To you

You go to the bank and there's no one to thank because they've pissed away your IRA
Then you go online, and see your savings dying as you look at your 401k
They say don't pull out, without a doubt, you'll make it all up in the end
With your glass half-gone, and no sign of dawn, remember these words, my friends

If you're going through hell, keep going
If your boat is sinking, keep rowing
If your balloon is leaking, keep blowing
Keep doing the things you do
If your heart is breaking, keep caring
If your hands are shaking, keep daring
If you fall flat broke, keep sharing
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back
To you

Deep down in the mine, but still on the front line, with a mind full of doubt
The roof falls on your head, the canary is long dead, and there is no way out
Outside the straw boss stands, without rescue plans, the union was laid-off
The damage has been done, we've all got black lung, there's no getting rid of this cough
If you're going through hell, keep going
If your boat is sinking, keep rowing
If your balloon is leaking, keep blowing
Keep doing the things you do
If your heart is breaking, keep caring
If your hands are shaking, keep daring
If you fall flat broke, keep sharing
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back
To you

The girl you adore has just shown you the door, and where are you going to go
In bed she's a lady, in church she's a whore, and the rest of the time you don't know
Not working -- networking -- no coffee is perking, you're vanishing without a trace
Your suburban dreams fall apart at the seams, as life throws a pie in your face
If you're going through hell, keep going
If your boat is sinking, keep rowing
If your balloon is leaking, keep blowing
Keep doing the things you do
If your heart is breaking, keep caring
If your hands are shaking, keep daring
If you fall flat broke, keep sharing
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back
To you

When the gauge says E and you've got somewhere to be, you gotta go to the pumps
Reaching for your pocket, taking out your wallet, only puts you down in the dumps
The newsman says, "there's nothing to dread, we now have Hope' and 'yes we can
A billion bucks to build American trucks isn't part of this bailout plan
If you're going through hell, keep going
If your boat is sinking, keep rowing
If your balloon is leaking, keep blowing
Keep doing the things you do
If your heart is breaking, keep caring
If your hands are shaking, keep daring
If you fall flat broke, keep sharing
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back
To you

Good manners, alas, are a thing of the past
And she frowned when I begged her pardon
I didn't mean to be bold but she came across cold
When I asked if her name was Carmen
I said, I just found your purse
And to make matters worse read the name on your cat's prescription
When she yelled, "Go to hell!"
She probably couldn't tell that what heard her say was
Keep Going
If you're going through hell, keep going
If your boat is sinking, keep rowing
If your balloon is leaking, keep blowing
Keep doing the things you do
If your heart is breaking, keep caring
If your hands are shaking, keep daring
If you fall flat broke, keep sharing
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back
To you

You're due for a raise and you think you'll hear praise
But the boss just says We've gotta talk
Instead of bein paid off
You find you're being laid off your heart starts to sink like a rock
You're selling on e-bay to give yourself leeway
While trying to watch what you spend
Trying not to sound bitter each time
That you twitter 'bout advice from your Face Book friends
If you're going through hell, keep going
If your boat is sinking, keep rowing
If your balloon is leaking, keep blowing
Keep doing the things you do
If your heart is breaking, keep caring
If your hands are shaking, keep daring
If you fall flat broke, keep sharing
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back
To you

The prairie is red and you feel like you're dead waking up at the break of dawn
You got cold chills, a bottle of pills, and you feel like you can't go on
Weeks of sleepless nights and restless days have stolen your will and your fight
You need a sign, but all that you find is that there's really no end in sight
If you're going through hell, keep going
If your boat is sinking, keep rowing
If your balloon is leaking, keep blowing
Keep doing the things you do
If your heart is breaking, keep caring
If your hands are shaking, keep daring
If you fall flat broke, keep sharing
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back
To you

Yesterday is so far away and tomorrow might be all wrong
Yesteryear was an ice cold beer, a tear and an invisible song
A yester-life and different wife, a crime and a point of view
If it all goes bad and you lose everything you had, here's what you have to do

If you're going through hell, keep going
If your boat is sinking, keep rowing
If your balloon is leaking, keep blowing
Keep doing the things you do
If your heart is breaking, keep caring
If your hands are shaking, keep daring
If you fall flat broke, keep sharing
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back to you
It'll all come back
To you
