Keep On Trying Lyrics by Jim Capaldi

Short Cut Draw Blood

0

Capaldi

Old man sittin' under a street beneath the concrete
With his head between his feet
Looks like he was accepting defeat
So I walk up to him and I say
Listen old man they wanna have it all your way
He looked at me and smiled
Then right before my eyes turned into a child

Chorus:
Keep on tryin'. Gotta keep on tryin'
Gotta keep on tryin', till it all works out
I wandered on down the street, wonderin' who next I'd meet
When around the corner came this girl
She said her name was Pearl. I said "Hi my name's Jim"
We looked at the buildings. They were doin' us in

Chorus:
Keep on tryin'. Gotta keep on tryin'
Gotta keep on tryin', till it all works out
Now everybody's walkin' about in them great big shoe
Smilin' on their faces they look so amused
I don't know why they wanna look so conspicuous
Somebody ought to tell them they look ridiculous

Chorus: (twice)
Keep on tryin'. Gotta keep on tryin'
Gotta keep on tryin', till it all works out
