Carryin' On

Late at night, when the crowd is gone
I sit back in my room, pickin' a song
And I got, and I got this feelin' of movin' on
Like a ship out to sea, I've been fightin' the waves
Takin' on water, countin' the days
And I got, and I got, and I got to get to movin' on

Then it hits me, been runnin' 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 gettin' late
And I can ride on another little while
'Cause soon the sun will be rising
Above the horizon
And that's what keeps me carryin' on

A truck stop 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 passin' through town
And I know, yeah I know, it's my fault when it's all said and done

Then it hits me, been runnin' 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 gettin' late
And I can ride on another little while
'Cause soon the sun will be rising
Above the horizon
And that's what keeps me carryin' on
Lord knows the hour is gettin' late, and I can ride on another little while
'Cause soon the sun will be risin' above the horizon
Sun will be risin' above the horizon
Sun will be risin' above the horizon
And that's what keeps me carryin' on, and that's what keeps me carryin' on
