Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin'
Life ain't all good but it sure ain't bad
Need somebody help you get back home
Listen to it all night long
Take away the loser's one last chance?
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin'
Who'd cross the face of a little smilin' child?
Don't be discouraged when the sun don't shine
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
You can't go around with your lip stuck out
So, hey, let me tell you what I'm talkin' about
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Sometimes I know you feel like you can't go on
Who wouldn't linger down by the old river for a while?
You know the whole world loves you when you're dancin'
Big sun going down, Lord, it's a pretty sight
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Everybody's got a mountain to climb
Need a friend to help you find your way home
Red and blue across the water makes a wonderful song
Reverend Pearly Brown say there's peace out on the water at night
Anyway it's the best old life I ever had
Gotta keep on pulling, you gotta keep on tryin'
