Rodney Atkins, "If You're Going Through Hell"

Rodney Atkins, 

"If You're Going Through Hell"

"Well you know those times

When you feel like there's a sign there on your back.

Says I don't mind if ya kick me,

Seems like everybody has.

Things go from bad to worse.

You'd think they can't get worse than that,

And then they do.

You step off the straight and narrow

And you don't know where you are.

Use the needle of your compass

To sew up your broken heart.

Ask directions from a genie

In a bottle of Jim Beam,

And she lies to you.

That's when you learn the truth,

If you're going through Hell

Keep on going, don't slow down.

If you're scared, don't show it.

You might get out

Before the devil even knows you're there.

Well I been deep down in that darkness,

I been down to my last match.

Felt a hundred different demons

Breathing fire down my back.

And I knew that if I stumbled

I'd fall right into the trap that they were laying, yeah.

But the good news

Is there's angels everywhere out on the street,

Holding out a hand to pull you back upon your feet.

The one's that you been dragging for so long,

You're on your knees,

You might as well be praying.

Guess what I'm saying

If you're going through Hell

Keep on going, don't slow down.

If you're scared, don't show it,

You might get out

Before the devil even knows you're there.

Yeah, if you're going through Hell

Keep on moving, face that fire.

Walk right through it,

You might get out

Before the devil even knows you're ther.

If you're going through Hell

Keep on going, don't slow down,

If you're scared, don't show it.

You might get out

Before the devil even knows you're there.

Yeah, if you're going through Hell

Keep on moving, face that fire.

Walk right through it,

You might get out

Before the devil even knows you're there.

Yeah, you might get out

Before the devil even knows you're there.

Yeah..."
