You Go On Music & Lyrics by Roy Evan Burstiner
She's got her bags all packed and ready, she's got her house keys in the door.
She left her note for dear old mama, that she dropped onto the floor.
Jenny's got a rendezvous with destiny, as the clock is ticking on.
When fame and fortune beckon, you go on.
He pulls a comb out of his pocket, and he does his hair up right.
He's got a deep set tan and a killer smile, as he hits the Broadway lights.
Ricky's got a dance that'll knock em dead, he doesn't know where it's from.
When the music starts to echo, you go on.
You got a one in a million chance to succeed as you go for the big brass ring.
You gotta hope and pray that you'll make it someday.
That your gonna be the next best thing.
You gotta put your heart in the basket,
no matter what you may want, Even if the night gets darker, you go on.
Well the bell is tolling for the few to survive, as the others fall apart.
You gotta have some faith, as you pull away, and you shoot the dream right off the charts.
When the drummer kicks the beat of the band up high, til the early break of dawn.
The time slips away and you know you must go on.
Gotta pull your nerves together, gotta give it all you got.
Gotta take your chips off of the table and throw it in the pot.
You'll never fall down by the wayside.
If your heart is true and strong If you stand so tall and able, you'll go on.
She left her note for dear old mama, that she dropped onto the floor.
Jenny's got a rendezvous with destiny, as the clock is ticking on.
When fame and fortune beckon, you go on.
He pulls a comb out of his pocket, and he does his hair up right.
He's got a deep set tan and a killer smile, as he hits the Broadway lights.
Ricky's got a dance that'll knock em dead, he doesn't know where it's from.
When the music starts to echo, you go on.
You got a one in a million chance to succeed as you go for the big brass ring.
You gotta hope and pray that you'll make it someday.
That your gonna be the next best thing.
You gotta put your heart in the basket,
no matter what you may want, Even if the night gets darker, you go on.
Well the bell is tolling for the few to survive, as the others fall apart.
You gotta have some faith, as you pull away, and you shoot the dream right off the charts.
When the drummer kicks the beat of the band up high, til the early break of dawn.
The time slips away and you know you must go on.
Gotta pull your nerves together, gotta give it all you got.
Gotta take your chips off of the table and throw it in the pot.
You'll never fall down by the wayside.
If your heart is true and strong If you stand so tall and able, you'll go on.
