Keeping Me Alive

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.

They said love was a thing of the past

That these days nothing ever lasts

This old world is movin' too fast

Well sometimes we ride around

She plays her radio up loud

If I was sad, well, I'm happy now

And it feels so good to know

I got you where you belong

Here in my heart, right by my side

Honey you're getting me by

Yeah you're keeping me alive

I got a job, I work hard

These days the money don't go very far

It's hard enough keeping gas in the car

But sometimes we ride around

She plays the radio up load

If I was sad, well, I'm happy now

Yeah and it feels so good to know

I got you where you belong

Here in my heart, right by my side

Honey you're getting me by

Yeah you're keeping me alive

And it feels so good to know

I got you where you belong

Here in my heart, right by my side

Honey you're getting me by

Yeah you're keeping me alive

Yeah you're keeping me alive

Yeah you're keeping me alive
