about

Month #3.
A song on the last Friday of every month.
A painting by Kristen Herrington Art goes along with each song.

"Keep On Keepin' On" is a song about perseverance. In this case, it relates to being a musician and being "all-in" in the music industry. Anyone can relate to this. To push through when times are tough. To keep on trying when all the signs tell you not to. There's always good ahead. Always

lyrics

Keep On Keepin' On

Go all in and fuck the rest it’s gonna work out fine
Build the needed calluses and put in proper time
Play to thirty-thousand and the next day twenty-two
One day you’re Jesus and the next day you’re just you
I checked the ads the only thing that I could actually do
Was dropping flyers door to door and wearing out my shoes

So I’ll keep on keepin’ on
Keep on keepin’ on
Keep on keepin’ on
Keep on keepin’ on

As long as you got confidence and reason to believe
Decent chops don’t look to bad and a few tricks up your sleeve
Nothing’s gonna stop you if you hold it in your mind
Maybe in a month you’ll be Jesus all the time
I checked the ads on Christmas Eve and all that I could find
Was dropping flyers door to door and wearing out my mind

Lying there at Christmas wide awake throughout the night
Wondering about the things that you did wrong and you did right
Then you realize it don’t matter what you’ve done
Everything worth happening is still about to come so I’ll Keep on
