Keep On Keepin' On

Got no place to stay

Here comes a guy, maybe you can hitch a ride

Maybe he'll be nice to you

But then again, maybe he'll take advantage of you

But that's the chance you have to take

'Cause that's the life you choose to live

The cold steel night means nothing to you

'Cause your money is low, and you know what you have to do

You gotta keep on keepin' on (keep on keepin' on)

Hey, woman of the night

The game of survival and there ain't no wrong or right

You gotta keep on keepin' on (keep on keepin' on)

Until your day is gone

Sometimes you look in the mirror and say

"I wish I was never born"

Your life is much like a grain of sand (yeah)

As you make your way from day to day, going from man to man

It's sometimes sad, but it's true

What the game of life will make you do

It'll make you keep on keepin' on (keep on keepin' on)

There ain't no place in this world for the weak

You see, you gotta be strong

You gotta keep on keepin' on (keep on keepin' on)

Hey, woman of the night

And keep telling yourself

Come tomorrow, everything's gonna be alright (yeah)

You came from the school of hard knocks (yeah)

Your family was poor, and the bed you slept on was made of rocks

You've been caught stealing (stealing)

Wheelin' and dealin'

Gettin' your meals and sleep wherever you can

Life is mean, sometimes

Sometimes it hurts to dream

But you gotta keep keepin' on (keep on keepin' on)

Lord have mercy, keep on keepin' on

Keep on keepin' on (keep on keepin' on)

Woman of the night

Keep on keepin' on, everything's gonna be alright (yeah)
