This song is about something we all have and that's problems. However, we keep on going down the line because we're hopeful.

Lyrics:
I went out to set sail today
Had to go far away
But I had no boat, so I laid in the sand

Drank a few made my outlook better
Fell in the water, now I'm wetter
stood up walked back land

But I'm...
Going down the line 
Going down the line
Going down the line again

Going down the line
Going down the line
Going down until I win

Had to escape my job for the day
Hiring the American way
But all I do is let People go

Living life like an old country song
Second dog sleeps all day long
And my second kid doesn’t go with the flow

But I'm...
Going down the line 
Going down the line
Going down the line again

I'm...
Going down the line
Going down the line
Going down until I win

Wanted fame, but couldn’t get any
I had money and begged for a penny  	
But it comes around around, around, you see

Been on the verge of losing my mind
Thinking heart attacks, but my body’s fine
raise a glass, have drink for me

'Cause I'm...
Going down the line 
Going down the line
Going down the line again

I'm...
Going down the line
Going down the line
Going down until I win

Girl next to me is beautiful and looking fine... 
Started to talk, and she’s got problems just like mine.
Just like mine.

Instrumental

Maybe I’ll rent a boat today
If I can get out of my own way
But chances are looking low

Every single person I pass, is wondering if their built to last
But this much I know

We’re all
Going down the line 
Going down the line
Going down the line again

Yes, we're
Going down the line
Going down the line
Going down until I win
Going down the line

But I'm...
Going down the line 
Going down the line
Going down the line again

I'm...
Going down the line
Going down the line
Going down until I win

Going down until I win
Going down until I win
Going down until I win
Going down until I win
Going down until I win
