Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every lesson that I've learned, I had to learn the hard way
I picked myself up off the floor a time or two
If you can't throw a punch, boy, you better learn how to take one
Ain't nothing in this life getting handed to you
[Chorus]
So keep your head down and your feet moving
The view up top is always worth the climb
Nobody ever said it was going to be easy
But nothing that came easy ever stood the test of time
[Verse 2]
It's safe to say that we would be a little further up the ladder
If somewhere along the way I'd just learned how to shut my mouth
But I'll never have to tell my daughter I chose the mighty dollar
Over speaking up on the things weighing heavy on my mind
[Chorus]
And keep your head down and your feet moving
The view up top is always worth the climb
Nobody ever said it was going to be easy
But nothing that came easy ever stood the test of time
[Verse 3]
And I promise I'll keep showing up just as long as you do
I'll keep screaming out my secrets if you swear to sing along
And let me say this to you, if along the way I lose you
I appreciate you listening as long as you did
[Chorus]
So keep your head down and your feet moving
The view up top is always worth the climb
Nobody ever said it was going to be easy
But nothing that came easy ever stood the test of time
