| We stayed in White River
|
| And we drank it dry
|
| Did you feel as lost as I did?
|
| In that maze of old hotel rooms
|
| And living room floors
|
| When I walked Toronto down to Nashville
|
| I knew I had to keep on going
|
| I knew I had to keep on going
|
| I was an angel every morning
|
| And I was a devil in the night
|
| Did you feel as lost as I did?
|
| When your father left us lonely
|
| When the money ran too low
|
| When I knew the bar was empty
|
| I knew I had to keep on going
|
| I knew I had to keep on going
|
| I knew I had to keep on going
|
| I knew I had to keep on going
|
| I wanted to believe
|
| In every promise that I made
|
| I was working every night
|
| While you were picking up the change
|
| And I said to you, my darling
|
| Each time I walk away
|
| Oh, you know I have to go
|
| I couldn’t stay
|
| In bright flash of silver
|
| I saw my life inside a gun
|
| I know you felt as lost as I did
|
| You cried half the way to Graceland
|
| In the middle of the night
|
| With your head upon my shoulder
|
| I knew I had to keep on going
|
| I knew I had to keep on going
|
| Oh, I knew I had to keep on going |
| I knew I had to keep on going
|
| Oh, I knew I had to keep on going
|
| I knew I had to keep on going |
