Keep Moving On

Sunrise comes, I’m already gone

Boots on the ground, another mile long.

Punch the fight through the grind

Trading time for a dollar and dime.

Through wind and rain, through dust and steel,

Working my hands turning the wheel.

But the nights are alone, I look to the sky,

Asking myself if I’m getting it right.

I keep moving on, no matter the cost,

Through all the years and the lines ive crossed.

The road gets long, the weight gets strong,

But I see their smiles, so I keep moving on.

The motel light hums like a song,

Wonder and worry tell me I’m wrong. My thoughts are my only friends but they like a knife,

Easing the pain but stealing my life.

I dream of a home, of laughter and love,

A boy in the yard, two girls growing up.

So I shake it off, with one more deep breath,

Another day’s work, all I got left.

I keep moving on, no matter the cost,

Through all the years and the lines Ive crossed.

The road gets long, the weight gets strong,

But I see their smiles, so I keep moving on.

Sunday morning, I roll back in,

Tired and worn, but I’m home again.

Little arms wrap tight ‘round my chest,

And for a moment, I know I’m blessed.

The doubts still come, the nights still drag,

The miles ahead won’t cut me slack.

But love’s the fire that keeps me strong,

So I hold my head high and keep moving on.

Yeah, I keep moving on…

For the life Ive built, for the love that’s strong.

The road gets long, the weight gets strong,

But I see their smiles, so I keep moving on.
