Lewis, Aaron - It Keeps On Workin' Lyrics






They used to sing about pickup trucks on my radio
Now those SOBS are in SUV's and ain't never left the road
But it keeps on workin'
Lord, Lord, Lord, it keeps on workin'

I was raised upon the outlaws
Just three chords and the truth
But someone traded steel guitar for a big lie and the loot
But it keeps on workin'
Lord, Lord, Lord, it keeps on workin'

I ain't never been that good at being things I'm not
I just sing what I know, even though that ain't a lot
Wrong or right, whether you like my music or you don't
I live and breathe my country to the bone
I don't just sing a song

There ain't no country music
Down on music row these days
Used to feel all down back home
Now it's watered down LA
But it keeps on workin'
Lord, Lord, Lord, it keeps on workin'

Just when I think it's over
Another one comes along
Fresh new face in her sister's jeans
Singing the same damn song
But it keeps on workin'
Tell me why, why, why does it keep on workin'?

'Cause I ain't never been that good at being things I'm not
I just sing what I know, even though that ain't a lot
Wrong or right, whether you like my music or you don't
I live and breathe my country to the bone
I don't just sing a song

Yeah, Waylon never just sang a song
Keith Whitley, he never just sang a song
Merle Hank and Johnny and Lefty, never just sang a song
They lived it, right or wrong
But they never just sang the song

But it keeps on workin'
Lord, Lord, Lord, it keeps on workin'

Yeah, it keeps on workin'
Lord, Lord, Lord, it keeps on workin'

    What the fuck is this guy's problem???? He's become quite the asshole, I see. I've been a huge fan of much of his stuff until his recent "bitchery". Get outta country and go back to doing OLD Staind or go see a shrink, dude!

  29. G.... G....

    hell yeah country boy rock

  30. P.... D....

    Aaron Lewis is country music as country music should be.
    And on top of it each record has its dedicated flair, so he doesn't even repeat himself.
    Aaron is one true artist. A rare good in these days.

  31. O.... M....

    There are real country music singers ,Aaron lewis , Cody Jinks and a few others and there's pop cunt-ry ,luke Bryan and almost everyone you hear on cunt-ry radio.

  32. l.... D....

    I think Aaron deserves more credit. Not alot of artists can transition as good as him in two different genres.

    l.... D....

    He was born for country

    l.... D....

    @Nealon Manning I Agree.

  33. A.... W....

    Thanks for another kick ass, blue collar, red blooded, American Country song Aaron ! Especially something us Outlaws can relate to !

  34. T.... T....

  39. n.... k....

    Reminded me of some Charlie Daniels. Hell yes! Love this one!

  40. T.... R....

    Aaron lewis is one of my favorite singers .been one of my favorite music artists since .the song its been awhile.

  41. M.... G....

    Absolutely. Pop country can kiss my ass.

  42. B.... J....

    Aaron Lewis is one of the best singer songwriters I’ve heard. The one thing that I love about his show is that he opens every single one with the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America 🇺🇸. I seen him have people tossed for setting during the pledge. He’s a true American who is strong in his beliefs.

  43. M.... B....

    Gotta keep up the good fight...
    Whatever that fight is that is worth it to keep it working!
    😎

  44. C.... M....

    Louisiana Women- Waylon Jennings

  45. D.... S....

    I like this song, but I honestly kinda feel like all this guy does is bitch about other people's music

  46. J.... G....

    I hope he performs Folded Flag in Peoria IL in July '19

  47. R.... D....

    Another awesome song but a real gentleman who knows what country is...never sell out to the skinny jeans poo country there trying to produce today! Keep it real !

  48. D.... P....

    Fantastic. Fucking beautiful

  49. P.... ....

    LOVE THIS SHIT... Keep puttin them Nashville "country singers" in their place, Aaron... Anyone who don't like what you say don't like country music... Here's to the *one* true COUNTRY singer left in the genre nowadays... Aaron's literally the only one who's keeping country alive today.

  50. h.... r....

    Fucking awesome tune! rock or country aaron knocks it out the park....

  51. m.... r....

    if that ain't country u can kiss MY ass

  52. v.... t....

    Just leave this long hair country boy alone

  53. D.... C....

    Too bad they won't play this on the radio. Great song

  54. B.... B....

    Love his music,I'm paralyzed and I can listen to him and his music cheers me up,great work on the new song

  55. C.... P....

    I’m cool with Aaron Lewis singing country music and I support him. But bro, lose the fake southern accent, you’re from Massachusetts.

  56. A.... P....

    Again, we will listen, Aaron. Just keep on puttin out music

  57. R.... M....

    Hell yes 💪🇺🇸

  58. h.... 8....

    Badass song

  59. B.... C....

    U cant put a gillette add ahead of an aaron lewis song. Not cool man not cool

  60. n.... ....

  61. n.... ....

    Hot damn, I almost thought that was Waylon at the beginning. This is good.

  62. K.... D....

    Make Country Great Again

  63. F.... ....

    This dude deserves credit for being a grunge-rock turned nu-metal turned country artist from Massachusetts lyrically griping about what is and isn't real, and trying to pass himself off as authentically country. The whole thing is really amusing to me, but I have to admit this time, it's not a bad song and the message isn't untrue. I guess Conway Twitty didn't set out to be a country artist either.

  64. d.... ....

    Can't wait to catch the Biloxi, MS Hard Rock show. It'll be about the 11 or 12th time I've seen him but it's good enough I keep going back.

    d.... ....

    I plan on attending the Biloxi show aswell! Any idea where to find the best price on tickets?

  65. V.... S....

    Hell yeahhh!!! Real talk!

  66. B.... M....

  68. J.... M....

    Keep this style going brother and I'll keep listening. Please give real country music justice. I love metal but was born on old school country and it means more to me than anyone knows. Its fukn real emotion and truth. God bless the USA and god bless all that paved the way.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊👊👊

  69. B.... B....

    He's not southern why is he trying to sound like it? Better when he doesn't try to conform.

    B.... B....

    Doesn't sound like he's trying to sound southern to me

    B.... B....
