[Intro]
Yeah
Another long haul
Still rolling
[Verse 1]
Coffee in the console, sunrise in the glass
Two hands on the wheel, watching miles go past
Clock says morning, but I been up all night
Steel box behind me, trying to make it right
Phone lights up, my little girl says, "Dad, you home?"
I say, "Soon as I can," though I hate that tone
She don’t see the weigh station, the rain, the strain
She just knows her daddy keeps coming through again
Bills on the fridge and a dent in the door
Boots by the bed, back sore to the core
Some days I feel low, like I’m stuck in the mud
Still I turn that key because they’re counting on us
[Chorus]
I’m tired, tired down to my bones
But I keep these wheels rolling, I keep bringing it home
If the road takes everything, I’ll give what I can
For my family, I’m still standing, still the same man
Yeah, the struggle gets real, but I won’t let go
With a heavy heart and a long way to go
I might be worn out, but I’m not done yet
I keep on keeping on, that’s the promise I kept
[Verse 2]
Midnight at a truck stop, rain tapping the hood
Everybody’s got a reason, mine is doing what I should
Ain’t looking for applause, ain’t asking for a crown
Just trying to get back before the lights go down
My son needs new shoes, rent needs paid
Mama’s getting older, and the plans we made
Feel like a load too heavy for a single back
But I learned how to breathe when the pressure stacks
Some mornings I wake up with a weight in my chest
Smile on the phone, tell them all I’m blessed
Truth is, I’m fighting thoughts I don’t always explain
But I won’t disappear inside the hurt and the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I take one more mile, one more turn
One more lesson this hard road’s gonna teach me to learn
I don’t need to feel strong to move ahead
Sometimes courage is just getting out of bed
[Chorus]
I’m tired, tired down to my bones
But I keep these wheels rolling, I keep bringing it home
If the road takes everything, I’ll give what I can
For my family, I’m still standing, still the same man
Yeah, the struggle gets real, but I won’t let go
With a heavy heart and a long way to go
I might be worn out, but I’m not done yet
I keep on keeping on, that’s the promise I kept
[Bridge]
If you’re hearing this from a cab beneath a tired sky
You’re not weak for needing help, you’re not wrong to cry
Call somebody you trust, let the silence break
The load gets lighter when you share the weight
[Final Chorus]
I’m tired, tired down to my bones
But I keep these wheels rolling, I keep bringing it home
For the faces waiting, for the hands I hold
For the little bit of hope I refuse to sell
Yeah, the struggle gets real, but I’m still here
Turning hard-earned miles into something sincere
I might be worn out, but I’m not done yet
I keep on keeping on, that’s the promise I kept
[Outro]
One more mile
One more turn
For my family
I keep on going
