Keep Tryin'.

By Edwin C. Ranck

When you're feelin' blue as ink An' your spirits 'gin to sink, Don't be weak an' take a drink But Keep Tryin'. There are times when all of us Get riled up and start a muss, But there ain't no use to cuss, Just Keep Tryin'. When things seem to go awry, And the sun deserts your sky, Don't sit down somewhere and cry, But Keep Tryin'. Everybody honors grit, Men who never whine a bit-- Men who tell the world, "I'm IT" And Keep Tryin'. Get a hustle on you NOW, Make a great, big solemn vow That you'll win out anyhow, And Keep Tryin'. All the world's a battlefield Where the true man is revealed, But the ones who never yield Keep Tryin'.
