Well, the trick to life ain't no mystery
It's really quite simple it seems to me
Work hard and do the best you can
Because everything else is just out of your hands
Hard times are gonna come your way
Just look at yourself if the mirror and say
If I just keep working I'll do just fine
Might have lost a few things that I thought were mine
Sometimes I wonder where I'll wind up on down the line
But I know if I just keep working I'll be just fine
Now, living life is like making wine
The grapes ain't ready while they're still on the vine
It takes love and it takes time
And taking all you need, well that ain't no crime
And if your friends try to bring you down
You don't need no "friends" like that hanging around
If I just keep working I'll be just fine
Might have lost a few friends that I thought were mine
Sometimes I wonder where I'll wind up on down the line
But I know if I just keep working I'll be just fine
Stay true and just stay strong
Keep the faith and you can't go wrong
If I just keep working I'll be good in the end
I lost a little faith, but I'll find it again
Sometimes I worry about what's up around the bend
But I ain't giving up and I ain't giving in
If I just keep working I'll be just fine
Like the old man's voice ringing out in my mind
Gotta tow that the mark, gotta walk that line
And I know if I just keep working I'll be just fine
I just keep working I'll be just fine
If I just keep working, I'm gonna be just fine
