There were days when I thought I wouldn't make it through the night Hard times all around, I wouldn't let it get me down, that's right There were times when I thought that I was cursed, yes, I did But I, I think that I've been through, through the worst So I just keep pressing on, on and on God knows I took the licking but I just keep on ticking Pressing on, on and on Oh yes, it has been rough but I'm blessed with special love So I just keep pressing on, I'm gonna keep pressing on Not a penny in my pocket and no more money in the bank Oh, I tried to get along just to pay my bills and drew a blank And through it all I still kept my faith I didn't think for a moment that I would fail Still I just keep pressing on, on and on God knows I took some licking but I just keep on ticking Pressing on, on and on Oh yes, it gets so rough but I'm blessed with special love Still I just keep pressing on, on and on God knows I've took a licking but I just keep on ticking Pressing on, on and on Oh yes, it's been rough It's gonna get harder as you get closer to your goal But don't you give up, you can reach the top without selling, selling your soul Through it all I still kept my faith I didn't think for a moment that I would fail So I just keep pressing on, on and on God knows I took some licking but I'm gonna keep ticking Pressing on, on and on Oh yes, it gets so rough, well, I'm blessed with special stuff Pressing on, you got to press, on and on If you're gonna make in you got to take and press Pressing on, on and on Press on, it might get rough, it seems so tough You have to press You can do it With God's help you can do it
