Intro: verse 1 Well God Bless my daddy I learned so much from him You know he taught me at an early age how to sink or swim He said boy that ole river of life can wash away your dreams So you gotta' keep right on kicking son swimmin' up stream verse 2 Well before I knew it I was out there on the street That ole gal called Lady Luck she wasn't kind to me As a matter of fact you could say she was downright mean She kept me in way over my head swimmin' up stream Swimmin' up stream swimmin' up stream Fightin' every inch of the way for a poor boy's dream Things'll get rough times'll get lean But the only choice you got is to keep swimmin' up stream Riff: verse 3 Well the time I thought my ship was comin' in That ole tide would turn an take it back out again Well if I just lay back an float I'll be a troubled me So I gotta' keep workin' at kicking an swimmin' up stream Swimmin' up stream swimmin' up stream Fightin' every inch of the way for a poor boy's dream Things'll get rough times'll get lean But the only choice you got's to keep swimmin' up stream Outro Swimmin' up stream swimmin' up stream Fightin' every inch of the way for a poor boy's dream Things'll get rough times'll get lean But the only choice you got's to keep swimmin' up stream Yes you gotta' gotta' gotta' gotta' gotta' Keep swimmin' up stream
