Carryin' On Lyrics

Late at night when the crowd is gone

I sit back in my room, pickin' a song

And I got, and I got this feeling of moving on

Like a ship out to sea I've been fightin' the waves

Taking on water, countin' the days

And I got, and I got, and I got to get to moving on

Then it hits me, been running on empty for miles

A little bit rattled, but still in the saddle is just enough reason to smile

But Lord knows the hour is getting late

And I can ride on another little while

'Cause soon the sun will be risin

Above the horizon

And that's what keeps me carryin' on

A truckstop in Boise, broke down in Cheyenne

That girl out in Lynchburg held the loneliest man

But it won't, no it won't, keep me from keepin' on

I can still see the women that I let down

In various places when I'm passing through town

And I know, yeah I know, it's my fault when it's all said and done

Then it hits me, been running on empty for miles

A little bit rattled, but still in the saddle is just enough reason to smile

But Lord knows the hour is getting late

And I can ride on another little while

'Cause soon the sun will be risin

Above the horizon

And that's what keeps me carryin' on

Lord knows the hour is getting late

And I can ride on another little while

'Cause soon the sun will be risin

Above the horizon

And that's what keeps me carryin' on
