I’d Rather Press On

[Verse 1]
Is it my imagination or is it my iron pride?
I wonder if it matters much if time is on my side
I'd rather press on, I don't wanna rest easy
Anywhere I stray, I will make it a brand new day
Anyway, that is all I've gotta say

[Chorus]
I'd rather be by the seaside than be playin' a one night stand
I've been too wrapped up in my own dreams
I will change things if I can
I gotta press on, don't wanna rest easy
Wouldn't it feel fine to return to the women and the wine
And all of the sunshine that we knew?

[Verse 2]
You will never know what blue is until you have played the game
Till you see life in solitaire where no one knows your name
I'd rather press on, I don't wanna rest easy
Have it anyway you will, I will be with you right up until
The spell is broken and all is well

[Chorus]
If you'd rather be by the seashore, well I sure can understand
Are you too wrapped up in your own scene?
I will change things if I can
I'd rather press on, don't wanna rest easy
Wouldn't it feel fine, but remembering the rhythm and the rhymes
And all of the good times makes me blue

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Wouldn't it feel fine to return to the women and the wine
And all of the sunshine that we knew?
