I get up in the morning with a face I don't know
Staring out the window while my coffee goes cold
it never gets old

Lines on my face gettin' clearer each day
I don't give a damn what my friends all say
It doesn't matter anyway

Cause I feeI like a kid on a merry-go-round
I wanna go faster, I don't wanna slow down
Never had a dollar, but I got enough sense
Guess my get up 'n' go, never got up 'n' went

So I keep on keepin' on
Till my days are gone
No one's gonna tell me that I'm wrong
Gonna keep on keepin' on
I feel so alive
I'll be eighteen till I die
Rock and rollin', I'm still going strong
Gonna keep on keepin' on

I make no excuses for the way that I live
I never have, I never did
And that's the way it is

Cause I march to the beat of a different drum
It's gotta be loud or it ain't no fun
My old man said: don't be such in such a hurry now
Growing up will let you down

So I keep on keepin' on
Till my days are gone
No one's gonna tell me that I'm wrong
Gonna keep on keepin' on
I feel so alive
I'll be eighteen till I die
Rock and rollin', I'm still growing strong
Gonna keep on keepin' on

(solo)

Life's what you make it
And I ain't gonna waste it
Gonna reach out and take it now

I get up in the morning with a face I don't know
Staring out the window while my coffee goes go

So I keep on keepin' on
Till my days are gone
No one's gonna tell me that I'm wrong
Gonna keep on keepin' on
I feel so alive
I will be eighteen till I die
Rock and rollin', I'm still growing strong
Gonna keep on keepin' on

I'm gonna keep on, keep on, keep on
Keep on keepin' on
