Discover the story of the song > Keepin Up – Alabama

The protagonist in these lyrics is feeling overwhelmed and like he's always falling behind. He feels like there's too much to do and not enough time. The pressure of keeping up with everything is exhausting him and he's out of breath. It's like he's constantly chasing his own tail and every week is stressful. He's working hard to make ends meet, but there's not much left for him and his partner, and there's no job security. He feels stuck and can't stop trying to keep up, even though it's running him to death.
