You Go On (words & music by Roy Evan Burstiner)
She's got her bags all packed and ready,
she's got her house keys in the door.
She left her note for dear old mama,
that she dropped onto the floor.
Jenny's got a rendezvous with destiny,
as the clock is ticking on.
When fame and fortune beckon, you go on
He pulls a comb out of his pocket,
and he does his hair up right.
He's got a deep set tan and a killer smile,
as he hits the Broadway lights
Ricky's got a dance that'll knock em dead,
he doesn't know where it's from
When the music starts to echo, you go on
You got a one in a million chance to succeed
as you go for the big brass ring
You gotta hope and pray
that you'll make it someday
That your gonna be the next best thing
You gotta put your heart in the basket,
no matter what you may want,
Even if the night gets darker, you go on.
Well the bell is tolling for the few to survive,
as the others fall apart
You gotta have some faith, as you pull away,
and you shoot the dream right off the charts
When the drummer kicks the beat of the band
up high, til the early break of dawn
The time slips away and you know you must go on
Gotta pull your nerves together,
Gotta give it all you got
Gotta take your chips off of the table
and throw it in the pot
You'll never fall down by the wayside
if your heart is true and strong
If you stand so tall and able, you'll go on
