Verse 1
Well she sings the blues but she wears bright pink,
And she pukes everynight in the kitchen sink, until,
All her troubles are gone.
She gives in to the bottle way to much,
You'd think that Vodka was the saviors crutch, the way,
She keeps holdin' on.
But she puts up a fight,
Even when there's no help in sight.
Chorus
'Cause she's
Pressin' on when her faith is low,
One foot forward with nowhere to go, and she,
Forces a smile,
Every once in a while,
Because she's
Pressin' on when the world ain't fair,
The odds are against her but she don't care, and she,
Forces a smile,
Every once in a while,
Because she's Pressin' on.

Verse 2
Well suicide, crack, meth, and wine,
Were the kind of thoughts that went through her mind, while she,
Lie awake in bed.
Her parents got divorced last Christmas Eve,
And the thought of death seemed so comforting, but she,
Kept her head.
And she swallowed her pride,
Instead of Cyanide,
Chorus
'Cause she's
Pressin' on when her faith is low,
One foot forward with nowhere to go, and she,
Forces a smile,
Every once in a while,
Because she's
Pressin' on when the world ain't fair,
The odds are against her but she don't care, and she,
Forces a smile,
Every once in a while,
Because she's Pressin' on.
