about

“Climbing”: This is a country ballad that kicks into a funky gear in the choruses and breaks out with a rocking electric violin solo midway through. The lyrics talk about chasing a dream and climbing an endless mountain, getting older and “chasing the sun.”
-Joe Deninzon

lyrics

CLIMBING
(Joe Deninzon/Mack Price)

I’m so tired of shadowboxing
Trying to make something out of nothing
You’ve reached the summit but I’m still trying
You’re at the top but I’m still climbing

It’s not that I can’t face the facts
That I ain’t found that pot of gold
It’s just that I’m resigned to live
With all your friends looking over my shoulder

Cause I’m still climbing

I’m so tired of exaggerating
So they can see what they want to be seeing
All those nights I spent sleepwalking
Roads paved with gold that lead to nothing

I see the writing on the wall
Chasing the sun we’re getting older
But I refuse to live my life
With the whole damn world looking over my shoulder

Cause I’m still climbing
