When you say that's it boy I'm finally beat You're goin' ninety miles an hour Down a dead end street You don't want to fight no more You think that you can't win Come on boy take a real deep breath Jump right in and Hold your head up high Oh you gotta be strong Come on and sing, sing, sing There ain't nothing like a song Now they may take away your job Take your fancy car They may repossess your clothes, take that fine guitar They may take everything you own Well that's just for today As long as you've got a song in your heart Tomorrow's gonna be O.K. Hold your head up high Oh you gotta be strong Come on and sing, sing, sing There ain't nothing like a song All right There ain't nothing gonna stop you Once you've set your mind The only people gonna knock you Are jealous of what they find Just keep a smile right on your face Don't let 'em get you down When you wake up tomorrow The world is spinnin' round Hold your head up high, hey, hey, hey You gotta be strong, all right Come on and sing, sing, sing There ain't nothing like a song Written by Byers and Johnston
