Lyrics

"GOTTA KEEP DRIVING"

V1
BROUGHT UP ON A MISSISSIPPI FARM, POOR AS THE CROPS THEY RAISED
HIS CLOTHES WERE ALWAYS HAND ME DOWNS, OR THE ONES HIS MOMMA MADE
TIRED OF BEING POOR AND KIDS MAKING FUN, SO AT SIXTEEN GOIN' ON GROWN
HE THUMBED HIS WAY OUT TO THE INTERSTATE, HEADED ANYWHERE BUT HOME, HEADED ANYWHERE BUT HOME?


CHANNEL
STOPPED AN OL' MAN IN A BIG MAC TRUCK, SAID SON IF YOU WANNA RIDE, HURRY IT UP
I?M HEADED FOR ATLANTA, THAT??S MY NEXT STOP, I?M ALWAYS RACIN? THE CLOCK?


CHORUS
GOTTA KEEP DRIVIN', PUSHIN', SHIFTIN', CLIMBING THOSE HILLS
RUNNIN', TRYIN?, IF I DON?T DO IT THE NEXT ONE WILL
(SON) WORKIN'S A LOT LIKE LIFE, IF YOU WANNA DO MORE THAN JUST SURVIVE
YOU GOTTA KEEP DRIVIN??


V2
GOT HIM A JOB IN JACKSONVILLE, SWEEPING THE WAREHOUSE FLOOR
HE?D COME IN EARLY, WORKED TILL CLOSIN' TIME, THEN STAY LEAST THREE HOURS MORE
DIDN?T TAKE LONG TO WORK HIS WAY UP, FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP OF THE HEEP
AT TWENTY THREE HE WAS RUNNIN' THAT PLACE, FROM A DOWNTOWN OFFICE SUITE, FROM HIS DOWNTOWN OFFICE SUITE?


CHANNEL
NOW EVERYONE WONDERS AND SOME WILL ASK, HOW HE GOT TO THE TOP, HOW HE MADE IT SO FAST
HE ALWAYS CREDITS WHERE HE IS TODAY, WITH WHAT HE HEARD AN OL' TRUCKER SAY?


CHORUS
GOTTA KEEP DRIVIN', PUSHIN', SHIFTIN', CLIMBING THOSE HILLS
RUNNIN', TRYIN?, IF I DON?T DO IT THEN THE NEXT ONE WILL
(SON) WORKIN'S A LOT LIKE LIFE, IF YOU WANNA DO MORE THAN JUST SURVIVE
YOU GOTTA KEEP DRIVIN??
