Steve Forbert Don't Stop Lyrics

So you're down,
So it's hard,
Don't stop,
Don't stop now.

Stop an' you're negating
Ev'rything that you've been waiting for so long;
Stop an' you're denying
Ev'rything that you've been trying for so long.

So you're down,
So it's hard,
Don't stop,
Don't stop now.

What you gonna do when
You're not in there tryin' t' do what you can do?
I know you can do it
If you'll only just stick to it's up to you.

There comes a time when things look so uncertain,
Seems like fate just won't allow
Reason's rhyme, but you set sail for something
And I'm on that dream boat now.

So you're down,
So it's hard, Don't stop,
Don't stop now.

Don't say you don't care about
The whereabouts of why it's not insane;
Don't say it don't matter,
Got to climb that broken ladder in the rain.

In your eyes I look to find the person
That I've always found before,
If she's gone, I just can't say for certain
I belong here anymore.

So you're down,
So it's hard,
Don't stop,
Don't stop now.

World don't owe you nothing
An' the world don't show you nothing but the door,
But when you surrender
All your hopes an' dreams will end there, that's for sure.

So you're down,
So it's hard,
Don't stop,
Don't stop.
