Keep My Head High
by BUDDY GUY
When the world's got me stressed, agony of defeat
And I'm working so damn hard just to make ends meet
My soul is strolling down a one-way dead-end street
But I just gotta keep my head high
And I'm working so damn hard just to make ends meet
My soul is strolling down a one-way dead-end street
But I just gotta keep my head high
I say ohh, I know that I'm gonna get by
Ohh, I just gotta keep my head high
Ohh, I just gotta keep my head high
I gotta live today or I'll die trying
In the game of being a man there ain't no crying
I'll keep it to myself when my mind's sighing
But I still gotta show my head's high
In the game of being a man there ain't no crying
I'll keep it to myself when my mind's sighing
But I still gotta show my head's high
[chorus]
It's hard to keep my cool when my world's on fire
On the hill I am the fool, light my funeral pyre
My mind will always duel with my soul's desire
So I guess I gotta keep my head higher
On the hill I am the fool, light my funeral pyre
My mind will always duel with my soul's desire
So I guess I gotta keep my head higher
