Carry On

When I was just a little girl
I dreamed of seeing the world
And we left home when Daddy died
And I stayed close to Mama's side
And we carried on
I went and bought an old guitar
Threw all I had in the back of the car
And I closed my eyes and held on tight
Prayed to God I'd be alright
And I carried on
Life is hard, life is sweet
Guess that's how it's s'posed to be
You can't walk, you gotta learn to dance
Spread your wings and take a chance
And you carry on
Yeah, I'm almost home
I met a man in San Antone
He touched my soul and took me home
And he promised me that he'd always stay
Then I watch him walk him away
And I carried on
Headed west to LA
Counted the headlights on the interstate
And everybody's in a rush y'know
'Cause no one wants to be alone
But I carried on
Life is hard, life is sweet
Guess that's how it s'posed to be
You can't walk, you gotta learn to dance
Spread your wings and take a chance
And you carry on
And I'm almost home
I know there's things I'm not supposed to say
Can't we all just find a way
To bring my brother home safe and sound
I sure do miss him when he's not around
But I carry on
Tonight I look up at the sky
In every star I see your eyes
I wish I could hold your hand again
Maybe soon, but until then
Yeah, I'll carry on
Life is hard, life is sweet
I guess that's how it's s'posed to be
You can't walk, you gotta learn to dance
Spread your wings and take a chance
Life is hard and life is sweet
But I guess that's how it's s'posed to be
You can't walk, you gotta learn to dance
Learn to breathe and you take a chance
And you carry on
You carry on
And I'm almost home
