Keep on ridin' ... / By tomorrow morning / At the early dawn / I gotta hit the road / So long lady / Till another day, right now / I gotta be movin' on / There's another town and / The singer needs a song / I know you're on your own / I'll be back before too long / I gotta do what I gotta do / And you know how / My heart loves to run, I gotta ride / Keep on ridin' / Keep on ridin' now / There's a city waiting / And a railroad station / Where my face is known / And an old hotel / That I know so well / It's a little bit like home / It's a situation / Not of my own choosing / And though a gamblin' man / Would say that I was losing / I started out to win / And I'll do it again / I'm never givin' in / 'Cause if it comes down / To my heart, or to my pride / I'm gonna ride / Keep on ridin', keep on ridin' / Keep on ridin', yeah / Keep on ridin', keep on ridin' / And I know you say / I'm driftin', driftin' on a dream / You'd better watch your step boy / It may not be what it seems / I just can't shake / This feeling here inside / This heart of mine / Keeps tellin' me to ride, ride, ride
