Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Last night I had the strangest dream

I sailed away to China

In a little rowboat to find ya

And you said you had to get your laundry clean

Didn't want no one to hold you

What does that mean?

And you said

[Chorus]

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride

Nobody gonna slow me down

Oh no, I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothing gonna break-a-my stride

I'm running and I won't touch ground

Oh no, I got to keep on moving

[Verse 2]

You're on a roll and now you pray it lasts

The road behind was rocky

But now you're feeling cocky

You look at me and you see your past

Is that the reason

Why you're running so fast?

And she said

[Chorus]

Ain't nothing gonna break-a-my stride

Nobody gonna slow me down

Oh no, I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride

I'm running and I won't touch ground

Oh no, I got to keep on moving

[Bridge]

(Never let another girl like you) Work me over

(Never let another girl like you) Drag me under

(If I meet another girl like you) I will tell her

(Never want another girl like you) Have to say

Oh

[Chorus]

Ain't nothing gonna break-a-my stride

Nobody gonna slow me down

Oh no, oh no, I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride

I'm running and I won't touch ground

Oh no, I got to keep on moving

[Chorus]

Ain't nothing gonna break-a-my stride

Nobody gonna slow me down

Oh no, oh no, I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothing gonna break-a-my stride

I'm running and I won't touch ground

Oh no, I got to keep on moving

[Chorus]

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride (Whoa)

Nobody gonna slow me down

Oh no, I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothing gonna break-a-my stride

I'm running and I won't touch ground

Oh no, I got to keep on moving

[Chorus]

Ain't nothing gonna break-a-my stride

Nobody gonna slow me down

Oh no, oh no
