Train's gonna run on them old steel rails
River's gonna run to the sea
Baby's gonna run to the Creek Motel
And it don't mean anything to me
Got me a dollar for a ride downtown
Stumbled back home for free
Picked up a penny laying right side down
And it don't mean anything to me
Lost my daddy to the old coal mine
My brother to a rope in a tree
Lost my money and I lost my mind
And it don't mean anything to me
Train's gonna run on them old steel rails
River's gonna run to the sea
Baby's gonna run to the Creek Motel
And it don't mean anything to me
Old man sleeping by a cigarette store
Black bird screaming in a tree
I stared at the ceiling til half past four
And it don't mean anything to me
Train's gonna run on them old steel rails
River's gonna run to the sea
Baby's gonna run to the Creek Motel
And it don't mean anything to me

Carrying On

Everybody's following me, and I don't know where to go
Everybody's looking at me, and I can't put on this show
Everybody's talking to me. About what? I don't know
But I keep carrying on, anyway
My baby loves me, and I don't know why
I try to make her happy, but I sometimes make her cry
She keeps sticking around, and, Lord, so do I
We keep carrying on, anyway
I got a little bit of money, but it's not enough
To cover these bills I gotta pay
And getting out of bed in the morning is sometimes pretty rough
But I keep carrying on, anyway
People these days are looking for a fight
Talking about the world just like it's black and white
But yelling the loudest doesn't make you right
They keep carrying on, anyway
I got a little bit of money, but it's not enough
To cover these bills I gotta pay
And getting out of bed in the morning is sometimes pretty rough
But I keep carrying on, anyway
We spend our lives in fear cause love's too hard
We spend our money on pills cause the cure's against the law
We spend our days trying to hide our scars
We keep carrying on, anyway
I got a little bit of money, but it's not enough
To cover these bills I gotta pay
And getting out of bed in the morning is sometimes pretty rough
But I keep carrying on anyway
I keep carrying on anyway
I keep carrying on anyway
I keep carrying on anyway
