Stephen Koritta - Keep Carryin' On

"Slip out of that sad sack
Step into some glad rags
It's been giving me a bad back
To lift you out of your mad jags"
That's what they say say say
Each and e-ve-ry day day day
"Sonny, how come ya been a carryin' on that way?"

Step out of that trouble barn
Shamble into this April morn
Don't ya tangle with the devil's yarn
God's chilrun were grateful born
Yet while I pray pray pray, each and every day day day
Still I keep carrying on this way

If I had some glad rags, I'd stuff 'em into a nap sack
Hop a sleeper on a fast track straight into Providence town!
Maybe say a little "Yes, I do" to a woman who says it too
Why do I keep a-carryin' on? I been over this ground

I'm believin' I'm a heathen
Because I'm feelin' like leavin'
When the odds ain't even
Straight out'a the gate
If I could muster but a mustard seed
Of faith to make it through my day of need
Instead of carryin' on, I could carry the weight

"Slip out of that sad sack
Step into some glad rags
It's been giving me a bad back
To lift you out of your mad jags"
That's what they say say say
Each and e-ve-ry day day day
"Sonny, how come ya been a carryin' on that way?"
