Song just send the basic message...keep moving forward. No matter what crossroads are ahead. We have no other choice at times...hearing this song I can relate.
Summer of 1975 in Myrtle Beach, SC SENIOR WEEK. There was a juke box outside the pavilion that must have played this 15 times a day and we tried to drink a "Cold One' to each time. This is what teen life was all about. Having fun and taking lots of risk and chances.Great times with great friends and the best rock music era ever. Thank You God for bringing me through it all and giving me memories and lessons that are PRICELESS.....................
What I wouldn't give for these days again, when the world just didn't seem to be filled with hate like it is now. It's hard to keep on smilin', but this song sure helps!!
What a video to go with some of the greatest rock on this planet!!! Love the transitions in the scenes!!! Nothing stays the same!!! Just gotta keep on Smilin'!!!
You found a piece of land ,gonna change from city boy,to country man,Your hanging out in a local bar,and your woundering who in the h--l you are,I put on the radio on yesturday on my way to work,like always,And The frist song I heard was this one,And Honestly it fit the way I was feeling,I sure had the Blues,And I havent heard this song for a long time.Always liked it.Thanks Smile &Peace,(KEEP ON SMILING)
this song im sure still is on the play list at point mallard in decatur alabama, listened to it alot while i followed or stalked jennifer and dawn, great tune
