Pressing On (outtake - Feb. 13, 1980) Songtext
von Bob Dylan

Well, I′m pressing on
Yes, I'm pressing on
Well, I′m pressing on
To the higher calling of my Lord

Said, I'm pressing on
(Pressing on)
Well, I'm pressing on
To the higher calling of my Lord

Pressing on
Pressing on
I know I′m pressing on
To the higher calling of my Lord

Many try to stop me, shake me up in my mind
Say, "Prove to me that he is Lord, show me a sign" (a sign)
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
When what′s lost has been found, what's to come has already been?


I just keep pressing on
(On and on and on and on)
Pressing on
Well, I′m pressing on
To the higher calling of my Lord

Pressing on
(On and on and on and on)
Pressing on
Well, I keep turning 'round
Pressing on
To the higher calling of my Lord
Oh Lord, yeah

Shake the dust off of your feet, don′t look back (don't look back)
Nothing can hold you down, nothing that you lack (nothin′ that you lack)
Temptation's not an easy thing, Adam given the Devil reign
'Cause he sinned I got no choice, it run in my vein

But I′m pressing on
(On and on and on and on)
Pressing on, oh yes, I am
Pressing on
To the higher calling of my Lord


Well, I′m pressing on
(On and on and on and on)
Yes, I'm pressing on
Pressing on
To the higher calling of my Lord

Pressing on
(On and on and on and on)
Pressing on
Pressing on
To the higher calling of my Lord

(Pressing on)
(On and on and on and on)
(Pressing on)
(Pressing on)
(To the higher calling of my Lord)
