Elvie Shane - Keep On Strummin' lyrics
[Elvie Shane - Keep On Strummin' lyrics]
Red-blooded boy from a blue-collar town
Hooked on that Muscle Shoals and Motown sound
Nashville-bound with my head in the clouds
They said, "With hopes that high, boy, it's a long way down"
But I was born and raised American tough
If I get knocked down then I'll just get back up, y'all
Ooh-ooh, I ain't no fortunate son
Just a country boy of summer that was born to run
Ooh-ooh-ooh, can't you see
I'm running against the wind out here running down a dream
Long as the sun hits the sky I'll hit the ground running
Grab my guitar and I'll keep on, keep on strumming
Gonna keep on strumming
I hit a few bumps trying to find my groove
Got a little road rash on 16th Avenue
Now I work hard, sometimes I get paid, y'all
Sometimes I don't, I just play anyway
Ooh-ooh, I ain't no fortunate son
Just a country boy of summer that was born to run
Ooh-ooh-ooh, can't you see
I'm running against the wind out here running down a dream
Long as the sun hits the sky I'll hit the ground running
Grab my guitar and I'll keep on, keep on strumming
Gonna keep on strumming
Keep on strumming
If you get knocked down and get back up
Where I come from, you make your own damn luck
You get knocked down you get back up
If you was born and raised American tough, now
Ooh-ooh, I ain't no fortunate son
Just a country boy of summer that was born to run
Ooh-ooh-ooh, can't you see
I'm running against the wind out here running down a dream
Long as the sun hits the sky I'll hit the ground running
Grab my guitar and I'll keep on, keep on strumming
Gonna keep on strumming
Gonna keep on strumming
Get, get knocked down and get back up
Hooked on that Muscle Shoals and Motown sound
Nashville-bound with my head in the clouds
They said, "With hopes that high, boy, it's a long way down"
But I was born and raised American tough
If I get knocked down then I'll just get back up, y'all
Ooh-ooh, I ain't no fortunate son
Just a country boy of summer that was born to run
Ooh-ooh-ooh, can't you see
I'm running against the wind out here running down a dream
Long as the sun hits the sky I'll hit the ground running
Grab my guitar and I'll keep on, keep on strumming
Gonna keep on strumming
I hit a few bumps trying to find my groove
Got a little road rash on 16th Avenue
Now I work hard, sometimes I get paid, y'all
Sometimes I don't, I just play anyway
Ooh-ooh, I ain't no fortunate son
Just a country boy of summer that was born to run
Ooh-ooh-ooh, can't you see
I'm running against the wind out here running down a dream
Long as the sun hits the sky I'll hit the ground running
Grab my guitar and I'll keep on, keep on strumming
Gonna keep on strumming
Keep on strumming
If you get knocked down and get back up
Where I come from, you make your own damn luck
You get knocked down you get back up
If you was born and raised American tough, now
Ooh-ooh, I ain't no fortunate son
Just a country boy of summer that was born to run
Ooh-ooh-ooh, can't you see
I'm running against the wind out here running down a dream
Long as the sun hits the sky I'll hit the ground running
Grab my guitar and I'll keep on, keep on strumming
Gonna keep on strumming
Gonna keep on strumming
Get, get knocked down and get back up
