Keep On Keeping On

one step forward and two steps back that's just the way that it is I pop the top on my favorite brew just to find that it's lost its fizz at the top of the hill I took a hard spill and slid all the way to the bottom I searched and searched for my inner child and then I almost forgot him damned if I do and damned if I don't I don't have the Midas touch the gold that I found was elusive as love and did not amount to much still I slip and I slide and I roll with the tide I'll swim until I reach the shore perhaps round the bend I'll try once again just to see what life has in store
