The Oak Ridge Boys

Don't Give Up

Don’t give up, don’t give up

Don’t give up, don’t give up.

You’ve gotta know that time is on your side.

Don’t give up, don’t give up

Don’t give up, no, no.

When things get thin

You’ve got to give in

Just don’t give up.

Now in this world of give and take

One observation you can make

It’s a long hot road until the day you die

But you’ve got plenty on your side

You just take it all in stride

Don’t let the set backs hang you out to dry.

So you just listen here to me

One little problem don’t make three

Your obstacles don’t need a helping hand

If you just take one at a time

You’ll make it easier to climb

And scale that wall into the Promised Land.

Don’t give up, don’t give up

Don’t give up, don’t give up.

You’ve gotta know that time is on your side.

Don’t give up, don’t give up

Don’t give up, no, no.

When things get thin

You’ve got to give in

Just don’t give up.

Now you may say that I’m a fool

But I say patience is a tool

You’ve got to smell the smoke without fire

Good civil answers are the game

You’ve got no-one but you to blame.

Remember this when you’re down to the wire.

Don’t give up, don’t give up

Don’t give up, don’t give up.

You’ve gotta know that time is on your side.

Don’t give up, don’t give up

Don’t give up, no, no.

When things get thin

You’ve got to give in

Just don’t give up.

When you see that heavy cloud in front of you

Back off until you see it where the mountain meets the sky.

Recharge yourself until you know just what you’ve got to do

Then settle down with peddle down and fly.

Don’t give up, don’t give up

Don’t give up, don’t give up.

You’ve gotta know that time is on your side.

Don’t give up, don’t give up

Don’t give up, no, no.

When things get thin

You’ve got to give in

Just don’t give up.

Don’t give up, don’t give up

Don’t give up, don’t give up.

You’ve gotta know that time is on your side.

Don’t give up, don’t give up

Don’t give up, no, no.

When things get thin

You’ve got to give in

Just don’t give up.

Don’t give up, don’t give up

Don’t give up, don’t give up.

You’ve gotta know that time is on your side.

Don’t give up, don’t give up

Don’t give up, no, no.

Don’t give up, don’t give up, don’t give up,

Don’t give up, don’t give up, don’t give up.
