All That Keeps You Goin'

When the princes and peasants

Each look back at you the same,

When a friend that you've known before

Can't quite recall your name,

When each morning there's a cloudy sky

That keeps the sun from showing

Then you'll know you are your own.

Sometimes that's all that keeps you going.

'Neath the chimneys and the rooftops

of the village safe and sound,

No one sees the faces or hears the feet

That walk the morning ground,

And the stillness of the alleys

And the highways keeps a-growing

Then you'll know you are your own.

Sometimes that's all that keeps you going.

Through the dampness of the dawn

Down by the road you walk alone,

And you think on the days when you had laughed

Or all the love you've known

But your head is now avoiding thoughts

Of times you'll soon be knowing

Then you'll know you are your own.

Sometimes that's all that keeps you going.
