Lyrics
KEEPS ME GOING
Four forty five and the sun ain’t up
Alarm clock’s beepin', it just won’t stop
I wish it were Saturday, but it’s not
Gotta get up, get on, get out, and get to it
I roll out of bed, and I hit the floor
But I hear a voice ‘when I reach the door
“Come lay with me, boy
ten minutes more
CHORUS
Then my heart starts beatin’ like the first time
LIke wakin’ up from a flat line
Tryin’ to catch the breath you take away
You start me up, you turn me on
You give me love, you make me strong
And girl, I’m gonna think of you all day
With your soft hair and your angel eyes a glowin’
That’s what keeps me going
I’ve been workin’ this job since ’92
Sometimes it feels like all I do
is bust my butt just to make it through another day
When it seems like there’s no end sight
And I’m ready to give up the fight
You text me and you say “Baby, I can’t wait for tonight!”
CHORUS
Then my heart starts beatin’ like the first time
LIke wakin’ up from a flat line
Tryin’ to catch the breath you take away
You start me up, you turn me on
You give me love, you make me strong
And girl, I’m gonna think of you all day
With your soft hair and your angel eyes a glowin’
That’s what keeps me going
Somethin’ happens to me when
You call, my name, and give me your sweet love again
CHORUS
My heart starts beatin’ like the first time
LIke wakin’ up from a flat line
Tryin’ to catch the breath you take away
You start me up, you turn me on
You give me love, you make me strong
I love it when you look at me that way
And girl, I’m gonna think of you all day
With your soft hair and your angel eyes a glowin’
That’s what keeps me going
That’s what keeps me going
Keeps me going
