Swimming Upstream
Recorded by Ricky Van Shelton
Written by Gary Nicholson and Bucky Jones

C
God bless my daddy I learned so much from him
G7
He taught me at an early age I had to sink or swim
C F
He said boy that old river of life can wash away your dreams
C G7 C
But you gotta keep right on kicking and swimming upstream


Before I knew it I was out there on the street
G7
That old gal they call lady luck she wasn't kind to me
C F
As a matter of fact you could say she was downright mean
C G7 C
She kept me in way over my head and swimming upstream


Swimming upstream swimming upstream
G7
Fightin' every inch of the way for a poor boy's dream
C F
Things'll get rough times'll get lean
C G7 C
But the only choice you got is to keep swimming upstream


Every time I think my ship is comin' in
G7
That old tide will turn and it'll take it back out again
C F
If I just lay back and float I'll be in trouble you see
C G7 C
So I gotta keep working and kicking a swimming upstream

Repeat #3 x2

G7 C
Yeah the only choice you got is to keep swimming upstream
