Letra da Música Swimming Upstream de Ricky Van Shelton

God bless my daddy I learned so much from him
He taught me at an early age I had to sink or swin
He said boy that old river of life can wash away your dreams
But you gotta keep right on kicking and swimming upstream

Before I knew it I was out there on the street
That old gay they call lady luck she wasn't kind to me
As a matter of fact you could say she was down right mean
She kept me in way over my head and swimming upstream

Swimming upstream swimming upstream
Fightin' every inch of the way for a poor boy's dream
Things'll get rough times'll get lean
But the only choise you got is to keep swimming upstream
[ guitar ]
Every time I think my ship is comin' in
That old tide will turn and it'll take it back out again
If I just lay back and float I'll be in trouble you see
So I gotta keep working and kicking a swimming upstream

Swimming upstream swimming upstream...
Swimming upstream swimming upstream...
Yeah the only choise you got is to keep swimming upstream
