Ashley Monroe Carry On Lyrics

When I was just a little girl
I dreamed of seeing the world
We left home when daddy died
And I stood close to momma's side
And we carried on

I went and bought an old guitar
Moved all I had in the back of the car
And I closed my eyes and held on tight
Prayed to God I'd be alright
And I carried on

Life is hard, life is sweet
Guess that's how it's supposed to be
You can't walk you gotta learn to dance
Spread your wings and take a chance
And you carry on
Yeah, I'm almost home

I met a man in San Antoine
He touched my soul and took me home
And he promised me he'd always stay
Then I watched him walk away
And I carried on

Headed west to L.A.
Counted the headlights on the interstate
Everybody's in a rush'n home
Cause no one wants to be alone
And I carried on

Life is hard, life is sweet
Guess that's how its supposed to be You can't walk you gotta learn to dance
Spread your wings and take a chance
And you carry on
Yeah, and I'm almost home

I know there's things I'm not supposed to say
Can't we all just find a way
Bring my brother home safe and sound
I sure do miss him when he's not around
But I carry on

Tonight I look up at the sky
In every star I see your eyes
I wish I could hold your hand again
Maybe soon but until then
Yeah, I'll carry on

Life is hard, life is sweet
I guess that's how its supposed to be
You can't walk, you gotta learn to dance
Spread your wings and take a chance
Life is hard and life is sweet
But I guess that's how it's supposed to be
You can't walk, you gotta learn to dance
Learn to breath and take a chance
And you carry on
Yeah, you carry on
And I'm almost home
I'm almost home
