Soldier On

(专辑： Joyland - 2015)

His mother's son, you know he tries and tries
But in the end it's all a waste of time
'Cause even when he's right he's wrong
Daddy's little girl just cries and cries
Seeing the world through teenage eyes
Listening to another sad song
Hoping change is coming around the corner

But even when you're halfway to heaven
You're only halfway through hell
Walking on the pathway together
Throwing pennies in the wishing well
Nothing left to do but soldier on

My mother dried up my tears
"Son, you're going to live for many years
So there ain't much sense in being on your own"
Now people keep saying don't be no fool
Don't play with love, she's much too cruel
To win, you need a heart made out of stone
Hoping change is coming around the corner

But even when you're halfway to heaven
You're only halfway through hell
Walking on the pathway together
Throwing pennies in the wishing well
Nothing left to do but soldier on

His mother's son, you know he tries and tries
But in the end it's all a waste of time
'Cause even when he's right he's wrong
