Keep Tryin'.

Topics: classic

When you're feelin' blue as ink         An' your spirits 'gin to sink,      Don't be weak an' take a drink         But          Keep Tryin'.      There are times when all of us         Get riled up and start a muss,      But there ain't no use to cuss,         Just          Keep Tryin'.      When things seem to go awry,         And the sun deserts your sky,      Don't sit down somewhere and cry,         But          Keep Tryin'.      Everybody honors grit,         Men who never whine a bit--      Men who tell the world, "I'm IT"         And          Keep Tryin'.      Get a hustle on you NOW,         Make a great, big solemn vow      That you'll win out anyhow,         And          Keep Tryin'.      All the world's a battlefield         Where the true man is revealed,      But the ones who never yield          Keep Tryin'.
