Elvie Shane Keep On Strummin'
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, I ain't no fortunate son
Just a country boy of summer that was born to run
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'
[Post-Chorus]
Gonna keep on strummin'
[Verse 2]
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'
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, I ain't no fortunate son
Just a country boy of summer that was born to run
Ooh-ooh, can't you see?
I'm runnin' against the wind, out here runnin' down a dream
Long as the sun hits thе sky, I'll hit the ground runnin'
Grab my guitar and I'll keep on, keep on strummin'
[Post-Chorus]
Gonna keep on strummin'
Keep on strummin'
[Bridge]
If you get knocked down, you gеt 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
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, I ain't no fortunate son
Just a country boy of summer that was born to run
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'
[Post-Chorus]
Gonna keep on strummin', woo
Gonna keep on strummin'
Yeah, you get knocked down, you get back up
