Just another day on this dusty road that all of us call life
Got a full-time job, working hard, trying to keep things alive
Just a dream, they say it's what I want, exactly what I need
And no one in this whole damn world's gonna take that from me, no no
Said I just punched out, I'm off again, at the bar again tonight
They say it's rough as hell, but don't pay much, I'm sure you'll do just fine
It's a brand new crowd, another day, hope I play what they like
So, here it is, said what you think of my picture perfect life
No ooh oh
But there's a reason to carry on
And there's a reason to just stay strong, Lord, I know
And there's a reason to carry on, to carry on, Lord, I know
But oh, oh, oh, oh
I said it's two a.m., I made it home, she's still by my side through
The rough, slick, thick and thin, the one that keeps me alive
But I don't know what to do without her, even where I would be
Got my heart and soul so wrapped up, she fits so perfectly
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
But there's a reason to carry on, Lord, I know
And there's a reason to just stay strong, Lord, I know
But there's a reason to carry on, to carry on, Lord, I know
But oh, oh, oh, oh
Someday I'm gonna figure out this life
And I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
And I thank God for standing by my side
And I pray to keep this dream alive
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
But oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
But just a dream, they say it's what I want, exactly what I need
And no one in this whole damn world is gonna take that from me
