Keep Moving On

Lyrics

Verse 1
I seen the rain on the porch rail
Mama said, "Son, hold your head"
Old block, same cracked paint
New day, same bread

I lost one, then another
Kept my name in the dust
Every smile had a scar on it
Every prayer had rust

But I walked with the weight on me
Like a chain made of time
Still the sun hit my face right
Still the streets sang, "Fine"

Pre-Chorus
And I been broke down
Been dragged through the mud
Still my heart kept a pulse
Still I rose from the blood

Chorus
Keep moving on
Keep moving on (keep moving on)
When the night gets long
Keep moving on (keep moving on)

Keep moving on
I won't fold, I won't fade
Keep moving on
I'm still here, still brave

Verse 2
Seen the boys turn cold fast
Over pride and a ring
Seen the same tears in my daughter
Seen the hurt that it brings

So I write for the forgotten
For the ones in the back
For the hands full of burden
For the ones off-track

If the road get rough, baby
I still know my way
I been climbing out the same hole
Just to meet the next day

Pre-Chorus
And I been cut deep
But I never stayed down
Had to learn how to breathe
With my face to the ground

Chorus
Keep moving on
Keep moving on (keep moving on)
When the night gets long
Keep moving on (keep moving on)

Keep moving on
I won't fold, I won't fade
Keep moving on
I'm still here, still brave

Bridge
Say a prayer for the lost ones
For the ones left behind
Every tear got a lesson
Every wound got a shine

I can hear my old man now
"Boy, don't waste your flame"
So I carried that ember
And I made it a name

Chorus
Keep moving on
Keep moving on (keep moving on)
When the night gets long
Keep moving on (keep moving on)

Keep moving on
I won't fold, I won't fade
Keep moving on
I'm still here, still brave
