I'm emptier than anybody ever said that I would be
This honeysuckle doubt is clingin' deep into the spine of me
And even though I'm movin' fast and stayin 'on track
I keep lookin' back, I keep lookin' right back
Cuz everything is harder than I ever thought possible
And nothin's gettin' easier, and nothin's lookin' probable
I'm outa breath and achin', but I still got more to show
Is this how it goes? Is this the way it goes?
I - I never know what to say
I never know what to do
I just keep tryin', keep tryin'
Keep tryin', keep tryin'
Keep tryin' - keep pushin' on through
The younger set is lucky and it's killin' me to tell 'em so
I'm eaten up with envy, growin' steady to an overflow
I'd kill it if I could, but bein' hungry makes it sure
That I want it more, I want it so much more
Cuz I been workin' steadier than Rosie with her riveter
And luck has never loved me, though I try my best to signal her
My enemy's internal, and I fight it as I can
Got no better plan, this is a do or die plan cuz
I - I never know what to say
I never know what to do
I just keep tryin', keep tryin'
Keep tryin', keep tryin'
Keep tryin' - keep pushin' on through
I - I never know what to say
I never know what to do
I just keep tryin', keep tryin'
Keep tryin', keep tryin'
Keep tryin' - keep pushin' on through
Keep pushin 'on through
Keep pushin' on through
Pushin' on through
Keep pushin' on through
