you best make no mistake i’m well dressed and wide awake and it’s time i’m feeling fine
got a golden ticket in my hand and a smile to beat the band and i’m heading on down the line
i hear those angels sing i hear the chimes of freedom ring and they are ringing clear and true
gonna keep on keeping on until my money’s spent and my mind is gone and i get home back to you
carry on, carry on hard times have come and gone it’s the dawn of a brand new day rise and shine, rise and shine keep the faith and hold the line and get your feet on the king’s highway
like the river to the sea like the blossom calls the bee i can feel something calling too
like the headlights on the train like the sunlight breaking past the rain i can see something shining through
carry on, carry on hard times come and gone it’s the dawn of a brand new day rise and shine, rise and shine keep the faith and hold the line and get your feet on the king’s highway
