Whatever Keeps You Going
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I got a friend named Tommy
He still drives his old man’s Honda
He spends all of his money
Trying to keep the damn thing running
He lost his dad last summer
Tommy was his only son and
That’s all he got from him
So he ain’t gonna stop
But whatever keeps you going
Keeps your wheels rolling
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Or gets you up in the morning
It might be something you hate
Or you love
Or you can’t let go of
But whatever keeps you going
She just started college
And I guess that she thought it
Wouldn’t be so hard to leave her mama
Back in Michigan
So she drives from Wisconsin
Way too often
Just to get a good talk in
And drives back again
But whatever keeps you going
Keeps your wheels rolling
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Or gets you up in the morning
It might be something you hate
Or you love
Or you can’t let go of
Whatever keeps you going
There’s a big old farm house
Bout 45 miles south
And it’s far enough out that
You can see the stars
Well nothing comes easy
So I work on the weekend
So someday we can
Make it ours
Whatever keeps you going
Keeps your wheels rolling
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Or gets you up in the morning
It might be something you hate
Or you love
Or you can’t let go of
Whatever keeps you going
