Story Behind The Song
Music is not one of those dreams that everybody believes can come true, but like with any dream, success is 90% determination. This song was born of that belief and my refusal to take no for an answer!

Lyrics
Keep Runnin'
Verse1
You're underestimated
Keep calling you the underdog
You've given up on waitin'
You're scared to win, well, shake it off
Get your boots on - lace 'em
They're trying to tell you who you aint
Put on your war paint, break rank, send in the tanks
Got a flag gotta wave it
Got a chance better take it and
Hook
Get ready to run and keep runnin'
Better get ready to come and keep comin'
Better get ready to not stop for nothin'
Better get ready to gun and keep gunnin'
Verse 2
When your faith's all faded
And your keys don't fit the locks
With their stuck on labels
They try to stuff you in a box
Gotta go in guns blazin'
Throw down the gauntlet where you are
Give 'em your war cry, live or die, flight or the fight
You givin' in? Hell no!
Are you ready? Set - go!
Hook
Bridge
When your dreams start drifting away
But you had your heart set on greatness
And if they're trying to put you in your place
Don't be afraid of the path less taken
You better keep straight and walk tall till your knees stop shakin'
Take aim and don't stop till the need stops achin'
On your mark - ready, set
Said on your mark - ready, set
Get on your mark - ready, set
Now on your mark, ready set
GO!
Hook
