Lyrics:

Keepin' on smoking, gotta keep from choking
Keepin' on moving around
Leaving everything behind until at last
I find what no one's ever found

Feelin' kind of lonely on the telephone
Today I must keep moving on
Leaving everything I know I really need
And so I guess I'll move along

It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I could think about you all the time
Do you ever think of me at all?

Keepin' on yearnin', keepin' on learnin'
Gotta keep turning it on
Leaving everything I know I really love
And so I guess I'll move along

It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I know I could make you mine
You know I wouldn't mind at all

Keepin' on smokin', gotta keep on joking
Keepin' on movin' around
Leaving everything behind until at last
I find what no one's ever found

It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I could think about you all the time
Do you ever think of me at all?

Keepin' on yearnin', gotta keep on learnin'
Gotta keep turnin' it on
Leaving everything I know I really love
And so I guess I'll move along

It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I know I could make you mine
You know I wouldn't mind at all
