Ashley Monroe - Carry On lyrics

rate me

When I was just a little girl

I dreamed of seeing the world

We left home when daddy died

And I stood close to momma's side

And we carried on

I went and bought an old guitar

Moved all I had in the back of the car

And I closed my eyes and held on tight

Prayed to God I'd be alright

And I carried on

Life is hard, life is sweet

Guess that's how it's supposed to be

You can't walk you gotta learn to dance

Spread your wings and take a chance

And you carry on

Yeah, I'm almost home

I met a man in San Antoine

He touched my soul and took me home

And he promised me he'd always stay

Then I watched him walk away

And I carried on

Headed west to L.A.

Counted the headlights on the interstate

Everybody's in a rush'n home

Cause no one wants to be alone

And I carried on

Life is hard, life is sweet

Guess that's how its supposed to be

You can't walk you gotta learn to dance

Spread your wings and take a chance

And you carry on

Yeah, and I'm almost home

I know there's things I'm not supposed to say

Can't we all just find a way

Bring my brother home safe and sound

I sure do miss him when he's not around

But I carry on

Tonight I look up at the sky

In every star I see your eyes

I wish I could hold your hand again

Maybe soon but until then

Yeah, I'll carry on

Life is hard, life is sweet

I guess that's how its supposed to be

You can't walk, you gotta learn to dance

Spread your wings and take a chance

Life is hard and life is sweet

But I guess that's how it's supposed to be

You can't walk, you gotta learn to dance

Learn to breath and take a chance

And you carry on

Yeah, you carry on

And I'm almost home

I'm almost home
