Lyrics

[Verse 1]
At forty-four minutes to four
An angel walked up to my door
Opened the windows to my soul
Told me he think that I should know
There's no slowin' down
As the globe spins 'round and 'round
[Refrain]
You gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin'
Gotta keep goin', you gotta keep goin'
Gotta keep goin', you gotta keep goin'
You gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin'
You gotta keep goin'
[Bridge]
If there's one thing that I learned
While in those county lines
It's 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
[Chorus]
So why ain't you smiling?
Why aren't you smiling?
Life can get wild when
You're caught in a whirlwind
Lost in the world when
You're chasin' the win
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
[Verse 2]
At forty-four minutes to four
An angel walked up to my door
Opened the windows to my soul
Told me he think that I should know
That life only gets harder
But you gotta get stronger
This for my brother
I do this for my daughter
[Refrain]
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', ah
[Verse 3]
And I gotta show them
That I can keep goin'
[Refrain]
I gotta keep goin'
I gotta keep goin'
I gotta keep goin'
[Chorus]
Why aren't you smiling?
Why aren't you smiling?
Life can get wild when
You're caught in a whirlwind
Lost in the world when
You're chasin' the win
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
[Outro]
That's why I keep goin'
