| Oh, yeah
|
| I stood up straight and sang
|
| For the record company man
|
| My enthusiasm filled the room
|
| I was young and I was keen
|
| With the devil in my stream
|
| As I hollard out an old blues tune
|
| We can’t sign you son
|
| 'Cause you don’t fit in the mold
|
| It’s hair and it’s your nose and your clothes
|
| I said, thank you gentleman
|
| I’ll just
|
| Move on down the road
|
| I remember how I used to say
|
| They can’t stop me now
|
| The world is waiting
|
| It’s my turn to stand out in the crowd
|
| They can’t stop me now
|
| The tide is turning
|
| I’m gonna make you proud
|
| So proud, so proud
|
| Well it was rough and it was tough
|
| But I couldn’t get enough
|
| Of this rhythm and blues I craved
|
| I was singing in the pubs
|
| Singing in the clubs
|
| Then along came Maggie May
|
| All the things he said to me
|
| And all the things I heard
|
| I had a point to prove oh yeah
|
| I will climb this mountain
|
| With this God given gift
|
| If it’s the last thing that I do
|
| And I remember thinking:
|
| They can’t stop me now
|
| The world is waiting
|
| It’s my turn to stand out in the crowd
|
| They can’t stop me now
|
| The tide is turning
|
| I’m gonna make you proud
|
| They can’t stop me now
|
| The world is waiting
|
| It’s my turn to stand out in the crowd
|
| They can’t stop me now
|
| The tide is turning
|
| I’m gonna make you proud
|
| Born to ramble
|
| Born to sing
|
| In a new world of rock’n’roll
|
| One man in particular
|
| Filled my heart with pride
|
| And he fired up my soul… oh yeah
|
| Thanks for the faith
|
| Thanks for the patience
|
| Thanks for the helping hand
|
| Thanks for the love
|
| Thanks for the guidance
|
| Thanks for the tartan pride
|
| They can’t stop me now
|
| The world is waiting
|
| It’s my turn to stand out in the crowd
|
| They can’t stop me now
|
| The tide is turning
|
| I’m gonna make you proud
|
| They can’t stop me now
|
| The world is waiting
|
| It’s my turn to stand out in the crowd
|
| They can’t stop me now
|
| The tide is turning
|
| I’m gonna make you proud
|
| So proud, so proud
|
| They can’t stop me now… |
