Norma Gale

We stayed in White River And we drank it dry Did you feel as lost as I did? In that maze of old motel 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 sang to you my darlin' Each time I walked away Oh you know I had to go I couldn't stay In a brilliant 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) I knew I had to keep on going
