Rival Sons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For so long I been hungry for something else
Where there's a will and there's a way
I work hard 'cause at the end of the day
The Lord helps those who help themselves
Hey hey I keep my head down, but I keep on swingin'
Hey I keep my head down, but I keep on swingin'
Hey I keep my head down, but I keep on swingin'
Right now somebody's counting my money
So much they can't see the top of the stack
Where there's a will and there's a way
Money's gonna find my hand one day
When it does I ain't looking back
Hey, hey I keep my head down, but I keep on swingin'
Hey I keep my head down, but I keep on swingin'
Hey I keep my head down, but I keep on swingin'
Hey I keep my head down, but I keep on
Hey, hey I keep my head down, but I keep on swingin'
Hey I keep my head down, but I keep on swingin'
Hey I keep my head down, but I keep on swingin'
Hey I keep my head down, but I keep on swingin'
Hey I keep my head down, but I keep on swingin'
Hey I keep my head down, but I keep on swingin'
Keep on swingin', keep on swingin', keep on swingin', keep on swingin'

I saw these guys when they opened for Kid Rock at free concert for the troops at March Air Force Base. It was my first time hearing them and I was front row. My jaw hit the ground, my blood pressure skyrocketed, the hairs stood up, and my mind was freaking blown!

Clearly one of the best rockbands of our time.

They opened up for Interpol and Smashing Pumpkins and were phenomenal. Perhaps one of the most underrated bands around.
