Lyrics
At forty-four minutes to four
An angel walked up to my door
Opened the windows to my soul
Told me he thinks that I should know
There's no slowin' down
As the globe spins 'round and 'round

You gotta keep goin', better keep goin'
Better keep goin', you gotta keep goin'
Gotta keep goin', you gotta keep goin'
You gotta keep goin', you better keep goin'
You gotta keep goin'

If there's one thing that I
Learned while in those county lines
Is that everything takes time
You have gotta lose your pride
You have gotta lose your mind
Just to find your peace of mind
You have gotta trust the signs
Everything will turn out fine

So why aren't you smilin'? Why aren't you smilin'?
Life can get wild when, you're caught in the whirlwind
Lost in the whirlwind, you're chasin' the wind
You gotta understand
There's really no end, there's really no beginnin'
There's really no real, there's really no pretendin'
There's really no fail, there's really no winnin'
'Cause nothin' really is, and everything really isn't

At forty-four minutes to four
An angel walked up to my door
Opened the windows to my soul
Told me he thinks that I should know
That life only gets harder but you gotta get stronger
This is for my brother, I do this for my daughter

That's why I keep goin', that's why I keep goin'
That's why I keep goin'
That's why I keep goin', I gotta keep goin'
I gotta keep goin', I gotta keep goin'
I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin'
Gotta keep goin', oh
And I gotta show them that I can keep goin'
Ohh
I
I gotta keep goin', I gotta keep goin'
I gotta keep goin'

Why aren't you smilin'? Why aren't you smilin'?
Life can get wild when, you caught in the whirlwind
Lost in the whirlwind, you're chasin' the wind
You gotta understand
There's really no end, there's really no beginnin'
There's really no real, there's really no pretendin'
There's really no fail, there's really no winnin'
'Cause nothin' really is and everything really isn't

That's why I keep goin'
