If you’re going through hell – Rodney Atikins

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 you kick me, seems like everybody has."
Things go from bad to worse, you think they can’t get worse than that, and then they do.
You step off the straight and narrow when you don’t know where you are, use the needle of your compass, to sew up your broken heart.
Ask directions from a Jeanie in a bottle of Jim Bean and she lies to you.
That’s when you learn the truth:

(Chorus)
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.

I’ve been deep down in that darkness, I’ve been down to my last match.
Filled a hundred different demons for eating fired at my back, I knew that if I stumbled I’d fall into the trap that they were layin’.
Well, the good news is there’s angels everywhere out on the street, holding out a hand to pull you back up on your feet, the ones that you’ve been dragging for so long you’re on your knees, you might as well be praying.
Guess what I’m saying:

(Chorus)
ya, if yo’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.

(Chorus)
If yo’re going thru 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.
Ooohhh.
