Press On

Life has a way of making you live it

Sometimes it takes when you be giving it

Do you fold or do you play on?

The next move always depends on you

If your work is good then it's trouble at home

If your move is right then your dough is tight

It's like running an engine on no fuel

How do you play in a game with no rules?

(It's always a fight)

A constant battle in my mind

(No place to run, nowhere to hide)

I gotta keep moving on, I gotta at least try

(Dealing with the pressures of everyday life)

Gotta go the extra mile, can't just throw in the towel

Through this I'm so amazed at the amount of things that I can take

I got troubles with in, troubles with out

Making it through but tryin' to figure it out

Tryin' to stay right when the world is wrong (So wrong)

But I gotta keep moving and press on (Pressin' on)

Gotta stay real, tryin' to be strong

Takin' the blows but gotta hold on

Tryin' to stay right when the world is so wrong

But I gotta keep moving and press on, press on

It's such a shame the more that you give

The more that you have to wait

For some one to appreciate all the moves you make

All the chances you gotta take

The way to get ahead is have the fear in your eyes

The only way to get by is for you never let 'em see you sweat

You sure better not let 'em see you cry

(It's always a fight)

Ooh, ooh, a constant battle in my mind

(No place to run, nowhere to hide)

I gotta keep moving on, I gotta at least try

(Dealing with the pressures of everyday life)

Gotta go the extra mile, can't just throw in the towel

Through this I'm so amazed at the amount of things that I can take

I got troubles with in, troubles with out

Making it through but tryin' to figure it out

Tryin' to stay right when the world is wrong

(Trying to stay right)

But I gotta keep moving and press on (Pressin' on)

Gotta stay real, tryin' to be strong

Takin' the blows but gotta hold on (And I hurt so bad)

Tryin' to stay right when the world is so wrong (It ain't easy)

But I gotta keep moving and press on, press on

Every day it's something new to face

Every night praying that I'll survive

Oh, oh, oh

Tryin' to deal with the pressure

Every time I try to get ahead

Every mistake I make they try to do me in

Whoa, oh, oh

How much more?

(It's always a fight)

A constant battle in my mind

(No place to run, nowhere to hide)

I gotta keep moving on, I gotta at least try

(Dealing with the pressures of everyday life)

Gotta go the extra mile, can't just throw in the towel

Through this I'm so amazed at the amount of things that I can take

I got troubles with in, troubles with out

Making it through but tryin' to figure it out

Tryin' to stay right when the world is wrong (So wrong)

But I gotta keep moving and press on (Pressin' on)

Gotta stay real, tryin' to be strong

Takin' the blows but gotta hold on

Tryin' to stay right when the world is so wrong

But I gotta keep moving and press on, press on
