Lyrics[]

Once I was young, and now I am old
The years keep passing by
Once I was clean, and now I am soiled
My life has come and gone.
I asked my savior: What should I do?
He put a crown of thorns on my head.
He told me never to forget these words
And this is what he said:

Keep on truckin'! Keep on truckin'!
On down the line, on down the line!
Keep on truckin'! Keep on truckin'!
On down the line, on down the line!

Keep on truckin' your heavy load
Keep on truckin' that endless road
Keep on truckin'! Truckin'!
On down the line, on down the line!

Keep on truckin' your blues away!
Keep on truckin' your blues away!
Keep on truckin' your blues away!
Keep on truckin' your blues away!

Keep on truckin' Keep on truckin'!
On down the line, on down the line!
Keep on truckin' Keep on truckin'!
On down the line, on down the line!

Keep on truckin' your heavy load
Keep on truckin' that endless road
Keep on truckin'! Truckin'!
On down the line, on down the line!

Keep on truckin' your blues away!
Keep on truckin' your blues away!
Keep on truckin' your blues away!
Keep on truckin' your blues away!
