LYRICS:
Hey there brother won't ya lend a hand
Looks like I'm hurtin'... can you understand
Don't wanna beg cause it kills my pride
Prayin' I get outta here alive
My life's unlucky gone from bad to good
Yeah I made some mistakes I been misunderstood
I been up been down trying to turn it around
Just to get back on solid ground and keep on...
Pushin' pushin' pushin' a rock... uphill and when it rolls back down just
Roll with it... roll with it... roll with it... never give up keep on pushin' it up
Keep on... pushin' pushin' pushin' a rock... and when it rolls back down just
Roll with it... roll with it... roll with it... roll with it
Keep your head held high keep tryin' and tryin'
Keep your eyes on the prize there's hope on the horizon
Got a hole in your pocket but keep on searchin' for a heart of gold
When the road gets rough and you've had enough
When life hits you hard but you keep standing tough
Lend a hand try to help a brother... reach out
Reach out to each other
Pushin' pushin' pushin' a rock... uphill and when it rolls back down just
Roll with it... roll with it... roll with it... never give up keep on pushin' it up
Keep on... pushin' pushin' pushin' a rock... and when it rolls back down just
Roll with it... roll with it... roll with it... roll with it
Sun coming up... sun going down
But I know if I keep on pushin'... I can turn this whole thing around
One step ahead... fall two steps behind
If I just face everyday... I'll get back on my feet in time
Pushin' pushin' pushin' a rock... uphill and when it rolls back down just
Roll with it... roll with it... roll with it... never give up keep on pushin' it up
Keep on... pushin' pushin' pushin' a rock... and when it rolls back down just
Roll with it... roll with it... roll with it... roll with it

I'm pushing this song on social media because it's easily in the top 10 I've ever heard and it's now my rallying cry as I'm fighting cancer. John Oates, thank you. This song deserves to top the charts.
Carl I agree. I am also battling cancer.. God bless you brother. Don't give up. I am actually in remission with a diagnosis of stage four cancer. Keep the faith....
Me too. Staying positive.
Good Bless
Had john released solo after man eater or big nan boom.. it would have been his own personal top 5
Don’t quit, I’m 11 years in remission from stage 4 breast cancer…gave me less than 23% chances.
These new songs really illustrate what an incredible talent John is.
Most people don't realize that the majority of Hall and Oates' biggest hits (You Make My Dreams, Maneater, Out of Touch, Do It For Love) were written by John, and most of the rest were co-written by John.
As a former homeless guy this song really connects. I still go back to the streets to see who I can help even though I'm still Pushing A Rock.
I've been a fan for over 50 years. At this stage of life, I'm more interested in John's solo work. I'm 62 y.o. and completely relate. We're all struggling at one time 🕐 or another. You're never going to be free of obstacles in this life. There's a great takeaway here.
Classic John Oates soul. Could have easily come from any of the 70's H&O records.
Great musician, better human being
Pure Philly soul. All of a sudden it's 1974 again, and I love it. Thank you JO!
John returning to his soulful roots., That soul never left.
His pop roots
I don't understand why John didn't sing lead on H & O songs. If he did it wasn't much. He has a very good voice!!!!!!
Me and my friend have been digging into the Hall and Oates libraries, and its amazing how much great music there is, even the ones that aren't massive hits. The vocals on this are incredible, you are a truly talented musician Mr. Oates, I wish more singers today had the heart, soul, and musical knowledge to produce art like this!
..... especially the ones that weren't massive hits.
It's a shame this song didn't get more exposure. It's a catchy tune.
Carl I agree. I am also battling cancer.. God bless you brother. Don't give up. I am actually in remission with a diagnosis of stage four cancer. Keep the faith....
It s a great song for pshy patients too
Rock on John! Magnificent!
Been along for the ride since ‘79. So happy to see John still creating and performing!
Stunning John! Your range from bass into falsetto shows what a truly, gifted singer and musician you are. Love the disco ball nod to your rock and roll roots! Well done.
What an incredibly beautiful and soulful song by John. I love it.
This song is my encouragement right now. My soul needed this song, I am battling so much. Sometimes we all want to give up.
I feel the same way. I just heard this today for the first time. Everything feels like pushing a rock!
Wanba talk i have big ear🤗
@@williamshaw6438 Thank You.
Never give up, never give in!
Summer is just around the corner. Smile and cease the moment x
Keep the faith my friend. Remember there is a God.
We're all more alike than different. Rich/poor, black/white, homeless/homeowner, young/old, etc....I promise you that we all have the same basic ingredients that make us human.
Incredible vocals, amazing groove, made me cry! Great message from a wonderful musician with a beautiful heart.
🎉 It made cry to … tears of happiness…
I’m not fighting cancer but I’m fighting depression anxiety plus seizure .I agree this is a rallying song I play at least 1 time a day thank you John!
Wow! absolutely unbelievable amazing! 74 years old and can still sing like that! both Daryl Hall and John Oates are the most gifted artists of all time! check in on Daryls house even then when that series was made Daryl was up there and OMG what a voice! check him out when Smokey Robinson visited!
Absolutely amazing vocals still all these years later! You still got it! I may not have been able to experience you in your younger years but I’m glad my younger generation can still enjoy and listen to classic musical icons today! Just attended your concert in CT the other week as well and it was such a blessing and experience to have a tiny piece of the 80s by you and Daryl! A dream come true for a millennial like me.
You've still got it, John! You've always been a class act. Quality soundtrack to my life, consistently, since '73.
Wow. John Oates has some nice songs!
Just love how John's voice has just got better as he ages. Lyrically, musically this is one of his best. Love it.
Soulful and smooth. Deep and inspirational.
The most expensive back-up singer is such an amazing singer on his own! Loving the Philly Soul vibe. Well done John. Well done!
Y he was so expensive.. had so much talent.. like Scottie pippen, could have been an all time top tenner but sacrificed for the greater good of hall and Oates.. now we get to give him his flowers.. will never play hall and Oates hits again without incl this all time gem..
still as soulful a ever. That voice aged like fine wine.
This revision of "Pushing A Rock Uphill" is amazing! I adore it! John has another hit on his hands!💖🥰
I hear bits of Possession Obsession in this, it's great seeing one half of Hall & Oates still making quality music.
it's absolutelly stunning. What a refreshing song in so generic and pasteurized times.
This one of my favorite songs of the new material I heard at his concert.
What a remarkable Song from you John Oates 😍 i wish you will play this great Song in your Concerts in Germany 🇩🇪🥰.i bought my Ticket for you and Beth Hart in Hamburg in Germany 🇩🇪🥰 November 18 in a few Days 2022 💖
Yes! Go, Johnny O! 😊
Oatesy has some really nice solo stuff. It's nice to see him stretch his wings and show the artist he always was.
Very soulful....love it.
Really nice...So different from your original version on Good Road to Follow album...I wish you and Daryl each added 2 solo songs to future H&O tours
This is a great song if you’re suffering with mental illness.
I love the message behind this song! ❤
Katie, you said it all girl.
He’s my prize! He’s what makes me tuff and strong!❤😊 Always Brave ! EVEN When WEAK ! 😅 YOU GOT THIS!!!143
What a great voice. He and Daryl complimented each other so well.
Having mostly conquered PTSD but severely struggling with bipolar disorder, I want to tell you that this song means more to me than you may ever comprehend!
Damn John!! This is so beautiful and wow!! Those vocals!!! Bravo. 🎉
Amazing song and vocals ~ you still have got it, John all of these years later! 👏🎤🎸🎶😍🇨🇦
OH my gooooodness what a voice ...lost for words ....
John, I"ve always thought your vocals were terrific. "Possession Obsession" is an all time fave of mine and I think this song is just as great!
Wow, this caught me off guard but it really shouldn’t have because this man’s soulful voice has always been there. Wonderfully truthful music.
I just love his voice and this song.
WOW! John's pipes are still PRISTINE. Be Good, Be Happy, Be Loved, my man
Wow! This has brought tears of happiness to my eyes… It’s purely 80’s sound with a powerful message… I just can’t stop listening to it.
I can listen All day again and again 💞 Amazing 👍👍👍
From The girl who used to be to this tune, John is a melody master
Soulful like an evening cruise .....
Beautiful, wonderful song!!!
❤❤❤
Awesome song! Cool video! Thanks for the new music John. I hope there is more to come!🤟
John Oates, I want you to know. I'm 62 years old and I have always thought that you were amazand funny. And I don't know what's going on between the 2 of you. But he's full of himself and he doesn't need the money. And he just lost a lot of my respect. He was my one of my favorite artists. And i'm gonna buy everything and anything that you sell you just rock on buddy
Beautiful
This song is definitely a new favorite! I love it!
Yes! Ready and waiting 🎶💙🎶

So hard to roll back with it when it goes back down, but gotta keep pushing that rock. Such a great metaphor.

When your struggling it hits you hard. Exactly where I'm at. Perfect song
Dang John you are still amazing. I grew up on Hall and Oats. Never knew you went single and we’re still creating your own.
I just was listening to some old Hall and Oats and thought of you. Looked you up and was blown away. This song is my new fav. You are awesome as always.
I became a drummer. And I remember you playing that huge drum set on an old video. It was funny and cool.
I miss you and Darrell and being young again. Stay healthy fiend musician John Oats
