Keep On Strummin' Songtext
von Elvie Shane

Just a 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 so 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 runnin′ against the wind, out here runnin' down a dream
Long as the sun hits the sky, I′ll hit the ground runnin'
Grab my guitar, and I′ll keep on, keep on strummin'
Gonna keep on strummin′

I hit a few bumps tryin' 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, singin′


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 runnin′ against the wind, out here runnin' down a dream
Long as the sun hits the sky, I′ll hit the ground runnin'
Grab my guitar, and I'll keep on, keep on strummin′
Gonna keep on strummin′
Keep on strummin'

If you get knocked down, you 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 runnin' against the wind, out here runnin′ down a dream
Long as the sun hits the sky, I'll hit the ground runnin'
Grab my guitar, and I′ll keep on, keep on strummin′
Gonna keep on strummin'

Woo!
Gonna keep on strummin′
Yeah, you get knocked down, you get back up
