Joe Jencks

Keep on Going

Got to go, getting late
Gonna leave my troubles inside the gates

I’ll give into no fear
I am master of nothin’ and no one here

And it’s life without a net, or a rope or a knife
Got my best pair of shoes, I’m gonna to make it through
These walking blues.

CHORUS:
    Keep on
    Through the heat, and the never knowing
    Just beyond
    The circle don’t close, but you know you gotta keep on going.

Every man for himself
Nothing in the world but hammers and nails

It’s a lie, I was fooled
By a man in a suit and expensive shoes

And it’s life without a net, or a rope or a knife
Well, the man didn’t care, he said he cheated us fair and square

CHORUS

In the hills, all alone
Weary shoes shuffle on a switchback road

Just beyond, out of sight
Moonshine devil on a midnight ride

And it’s life without a net, or a rope or a knife
Well the road looks closed, and it’s time to find another way home

CHORUS
