Songtext

That old storefront smelled like smoke
Two hard heads, but we never broke
Words came honest, rough but true
Selling dreams and hopes, that’s what we’d do

We didn’t bend, we didn’t fold
Hearts were tough, but never cold

I don’t quit, I carry on
Through the dark when the light is gone
Every heartache, every milestone
I don’t quit, I carry on

I don’t quit, I carry on
Still standin' where I belong
It ain’t loud, but it’s strong
I don’t quit, I carry on

Then the world went quiet, streets went still
A fight in the dark, against our will
No big words, no long goodbyes
Just holdin’ on, just stayin’ alive

The smoke cleared out, the nights stayed long
But that old strength kept pullin’ me on

I don’t quit, I carry on
Through the dark when the light is gone
Every scar, every broken stone
I don’t quit, I carry on

I don’t quit, I carry on
Still standin’ where I belong
It ain’t loud, but it’s strong
I don’t quit, I carry on

Some don’t leave, they just change form
They live in the way I weather the storm

I don’t quit, I carry on
Through the dark when the light is gone
Every tear, every battle won
I don’t quit, I carry on

I don’t quit, I carry on
Still standin’, still holdin’ on
Through the night to the dawn
I don’t quit, I carry on

No names spoken, no last song
Just a life lived deep and strong
And if you ask what keeps me on
I don’t quit...
I carry on
