Keep On Striving

Poor man, you work so hard (Poor man)

Eight hours a day

How you try, try, try to make it in the world

But very little comes your way

You don't wish for big fine cars

Or the best things in life, no no

All you want is a decent living for

Your little kids and wife, yeah

Poor man, sometimes you feel like

You're at the end of your rope, yeah

Oh, please listen to me, poor man

Never, never give up hope

Just keep on strivin'

For that better day

If you keep, keep on, keep on strivin'

Something gotta come your way, oh Lord

Keep, keep on, keep on strivin'

Keep, keep on, keep on

'Cause in this world, to survive

You've gotta strive, woo, yeah, oh

Poor man, there's stumbling blocks

On that good, good road ahead, man

But keep in mind, poor man

That your family must be fed, yeah

Every time you stumble and fall

Get right back up again, now

They've been sockin' it to you too long

One day you're gonna win, oh Lord

Keep, keep on, keep on strivin'

Keep, keep on, keep on strivin'

Keep, keep on, keep on strivin'

Poor man, you gotta strive

Sometimes you gotta do some things

That you just don't wanna do, but

Keep, keep on strivin', poor man

Don't let it get the best of you, no

Keep, keep on, keep on strivin'

Though you carry that heavy load, oh well

Keep, keep on, keep on strivin'

Walkin' up that road, Lord

Keep on, keep on strivin'

Keep-a, keep-a, keep-a, keep on strivin'

Keep, keep on, keep on strivin'

You got, you got, you got, got, you got to

Keep on, keep on strivin'

Keep-a, keep-a, keep-a, keep on strivin'

Keep, keep on, keep on strivin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Keep on, keep on strivin'

Keep-a, keep-a, keep-a, keep on strivin'

Keep, keep on, keep on strivin'
