Keep On Keepin On

(Don't Wait For The Dogs To Come Home)
(by K. Brown)

You can't take back
what you done wrong
Best you can do
is keep keepin on
try to do better
try to do right
try to do what your Mom would like

Da doo doo doo, Da da da da
And keep on keepin on

Sittin here readin
all the fake news
in my Facebook feed
from friends I thought I knew
but now I don't know
Now I aint sure
if whats news is news
and whats yours is yours

Da doo doo doo, Da da da da
And keep on keepin on

Have me a boy
we don't say too much
he thinks I'm just
an old such and such
grass is blue
sky is green
tomatoes is tomattos
from what I seen

You can't take back
what you done wrong
Best you can do
is keep keepin on
try to do better
try to do right
try to do what your Mom would like

Da doo doo doo, Da da da da
And keep on keepin on

Sure would like
to kick back some
but the high cost of livin
got me feelin low down
Try to save a dollar
only make a dime
give it all to the wife
most the time

Da doo doo doo, Da da da da
And keep on keepin on

One of these days
and it wont be long
This old dog gonna
get out and run
Try to catch a rabbit
Try to dig a bone
Probably lose his mind a little
before he gets home

You can't take back
what you done wrong
Best you can do
is keep keepin on
try to do better
try to do right
try to do what your Mom would like

Da doo doo doo, Da da da da
And keep on keepin on

Just keep on keepin on

Don't wait for the dog to come home
Just keepin on
