Thanks, Jim, for that article.

Push On
Willie P. Bennett 1993

Three in the morning, the midst of a full moon
The feelings were crazy and blue
The wages of sin is trouble again
But still our actions rang true

She said you hear so many stories
`Bout the fools lost out on the road
Driftin' from town to town
And from young to old
I guess a rambler is hard to hang on to
But love is harder to hold

Push on, push on
Push on, you weary soul
If you got trouble
Or trouble has got you
There's only one thing you can do
For love or money, see it through
Push on, push on, push on

I said if I'd known it was gonna come to this
I'd've wrote down every word I said
I'd have memorized it most carefully
And practised in my head

But, if you're going to follow your own path
To come out right
If you get down on the street
You better come up tight
She said that love was an answer
But some love to fight
I love to feel alright

Push on, push on
Push on, you weary soul
If you got trouble
Or trouble has got you
There's only one thing you can do
For love or money, see it through
Push on, push on, push on

Starin' up through the palm trees at midnight
Searchin' for the one true lover
Tryin' to find a star in this night city sky
Like lookin' for love in the whorehouse, brother

If you're going to follow your own path
To come out right
When you get down on the streets
You better come up tight
She said that love was an answer
Some love to fight
I love to feel alright

Push on, push on
Push on, you weary soul
If you got trouble
Or trouble has got you
There's only one thing you can do
For love or money, see it through
Push on, push on, push on

Come on, this ain't no dream you're livin' in
If it's on your mind, then it's under your skin
Get your feet back down on the ground; that's a good place to begin
And push on, push on, push on
