Lyrics

[Verse 1]

At forty-four minutes to four

An angel walked up to my door

Opened the windows to my soul

Told me he think that I should know

There's no slowin' down

As the globe spins 'round and 'round

[Refrain]

You gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin'

Gotta keep goin', you gotta keep goin'

Gotta keep goin', you gotta keep goin'

You gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin'

You gotta keep goin'

[Bridge]

If there's one thing that I learned

While in those county lines

It's that everything takes time

You have gotta lose your pride

You have gotta lose your mind

Just to find your peace of mind

You have gotta trust the signs

Everything will turn out fine

[Chorus]

So why ain't you smiling?

Why aren't you smiling?

Life can get wild when

You're caught in a whirlwind

Lost in the world when

You're chasin' the win

You gotta understand

There's really no end

There's really no beginnin'

There's really no real

There's really no pretendin'

There's really no fail

There's really no winnin'

'Cause nothin' really is

And everything really isn't

[Verse 2]

At forty-four minutes to four

An angel walked up to my door

Opened the windows to my soul

Told me he think that I should know

That life only gets harder

But you gotta get stronger

This for my brother

I do this for my daughter

[Refrain]

That's why I keep goin'

That's why I keep goin'

That's why I keep goin'

That's why I keep goin'

I gotta keep goin'

I gotta keep goin'

I gotta keep goin'

I gotta keep goin'

Gotta keep goin'

Gotta keep goin', ah

[Verse 3]

And I gotta show them

That I can keep goin'

[Refrain]

I gotta keep goin'

I gotta keep goin'

I gotta keep goin'

[Chorus]

Why aren't you smiling?

Why aren't you smiling?

Life can get wild when

You're caught in a whirlwind

Lost in the world when

You're chasin' the win

You gotta understand

There's really no end

There's really no beginnin'

There's really no real

There's really no pretendin'

There's really no fail

There's really no winnin'

'Cause nothin' really is

And everything really isn't

[Outro]

That's why I keep goin'
