Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks

Daniel Ivan Hicks (December 9, 1941 – February 6, 2016) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and the leader of Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks.

The road to success is just an ol’ cliché
But I’m going to the top so buddy don’t get in my way
But then again
Will this take me further
Or leave me far behind
Success keeps playin’ with my mind
Oh, those pretty boys they always bring good news
As they stand in line I’ve nothin’ but to choose
Will I take me one or maybe four or five
Success (success) keeps playin' with my mind
Oh, oh, oh, tell me (tell me) tell me (tell me) won’t somebody tell me (tell me) oh, tell me (tell me)
Is this the life to lead though I’m feeling so fine
Where am I goin to be when I turn thirty-nine, now?
Tell me (tell me) tell me (tell me) won’t somebody please tell me (tell me)
Must I keep on climbin' and never stop
What happens to that girl when she reaches the top?
Now it’s closin' time, they’ve all walked out the door
You know the letterin’ on the billboard changes, guess I ain’t playing here no more
No, no more
Will they remember me or leave me far behind?
Success keeps playin with my mind
Woah-woah-woah, ooh

Now it’s closin' time, they’ve all walked out the door
You know the letterin’ on the billboard changes, guess I ain’t playing here no more
No, no more
Will they remember me or leave me far behind?
Success keeps playin with my mind
Oh, oh, oh, success keeps playin with my mind
Oh, you know that it keeps playin' in my
It keeps stayin' in my
Success keeps playin' with my mind

Keep on, keep on climbin', keep on climbin' and never stop
Keep on climbin' and never stop, I'm gonna
Keep on climbin' and never stop, I'm gonna
Keep on climbin' and never stop, oh
Keep on climbin' and never stop, I'm gonna
Keep on climbin' and never stop
Keep on climbin' and never stop
