keep on truckin'
Don't give up
Keep on truckin' is an encouragement to persist or keep going despite difficulties, with connotations of steady, unflagging effort.
The phrase emerged from 1930s blues music and was popularized by R.
Crumb's 1968 comic strip featuring a striding figure.
It carries a laid-back, countercultural vibe: Things are rough, but just keep on truckin'.
