Karaoke Track: Swimming Upstream by Ricky Van Shelton (Harris Studios) - Karaoke Nerds

GOD BLESS MY DADDY,
I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM HIM
HE TAUGHT ME AT
AN EARLY AGE
I HAD TO SINK 0R SWIM

HE SAID, BOY, THAT OLD RIVER
OF LIFE CAN WASH AWAY
YOUR DREAMS
BUT YOU GOTTA KEEP
RIGHT ON KICKIN'

AND SWIMMIN' UPSTREAM

BEFORE I KNEW ITI WAS
OUTTHERE ON THE STREET
THAT OLD GAL THEY CALL
LADY LUCK
SHE WASN'T KIND TO ME

AS A MATTER OF FACT
YOU COULD SAY SHE WAS
DOWN RIGHT MEAN
SHE KEPTME IN OVER MY HEAD
AND SWIMMIN' UPSTREAM

SWIMMIN' UPSTREAM
SWIMMIN' UPSTREAM
FIGHTIN' EVERY INCH
OF THE WAY
FOR A POOR BOY'S DREAM

THINGS'LL GET ROUGH
TIMES'LL GET LEAN
BUTTHE ONLY CHOICE YOU GOT

IS KEEP SWIMMIN' UPSTREAM

EVERYTIME I THINK
MY SHIP IS COMIN' IN
THAT OLD TIDE WILL TURN AND
IT'LL TAKE ME BACK OUT
AGAIN

IF I JUST LAY BACK AND FLOAT
I'LL BE IN TROUBLE YOU SEE
SO I GOTTA KEEP WORKIN'
AND KICKIN' AND
SWIMMIN' UPSTREAM

SWIMMIN' UPSTREAM
SWIMMIN' UPSTREAM
FIGHTIN' EVERY INCH
OF THE WAY
FOR A POOR BOY'S DREAM

THINGS'LL GET ROUGH
TIMES'LL GET LEAN
BUTTHE ONLY CHOICE YOU GOT

IS KEEP SWIMMIN' UPSTREAM

SWIMMIN' UPSTREAM
SWIMMIN' UPSTREAM
FIGHTIN' EVERY INCH
OF THE WAY
FOR A POOR BOY'S DREAM

THINGS'LL GET ROUGH
TIMES'LL GET LEAN
BUTTHE ONLY CHOICE YOU GOT

IS KEEP SWIMMIN' UPSTREAM

YEAH, THE ONLY CHOICE
THAT YOU GOT IS

KEEP SWIMMIN' UPSTREAM
