Keepin' on smoking, Lord I keep on joking
Keepin' on moving a round
Leaving everything behind until at last
I find what no one's ever found
Feeling kind of lonely on the telephone
To day I must keep moving on
Leaving everything I know I really need
And so I guess I'll move a long
It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I could think about you all the time
Do you ever think of me at all
Keepin' on yearnin', keepin' on learnin'
Lord I keep turning it on
Leaving everything I know I really love
And so I guess I'll move along
It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I know I could make you mine
You know I wouldn't mind at all
Keepin' on smokin', gotta keep on joking
Gotta keep moving around
Leaving everything behind until at last
I find what no one's ever found
It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I could think about you all the time
Do you ever think of me at all
Keepin' on yearnin', gotta keep on learnin'
Gotta keep turning it on
Leaving everything I know I really love
And so I guess I'll move along
It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I know I could make you mine
You know I wouldn't mind at all
