Can't Stop Me Now

I spit on the streets in San
Called the record and company man
My enthusiasm filled the room

I was young and I was keen
With the devil in my stream
As I hollowed at an old blues tune

We can't sign your sign
'Cause we're doper than the mole
That you had on your nose and your clothes
I should thank you gentleman
For this life that you brought me
Now move on down the road

I remember how I used to say

They can't stop me now
The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now
The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud

Well nothing was tough
But I couldn't get enough
Out this rhythm and blues I crave

I was singing in the parks
Singing in the clubs
Then along came agony

All the things he said to me
And all the things I heard
I had a point to prove

I will climb this mountain
With this god given gift
If it's the last thing that I do

And I remember thinking

They can't stop me now
The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now
The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud

They can't stop me now
The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now
The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud

Born to ramble
Born to sing
In a new world of rock n roll
Woman in particular
Feel my heart will cry
And if I hold my song

Thanks for the faith
Thanks for the patience
Thanks for the helping hand
Thanks for the love
Thanks for the guidance
Thanks for the talk and pride

They can't stop me now
The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now
The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud

They can't stop me now
The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now
The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud
