Norma Gale - Terra Lightfoot

We stayed in White River

And we drank it dry

Did you feel as lost as I did?

In that maze of old hotel 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 said to you, my darling

Each time I walk away

Oh, you know I have to go

I couldn’t stay

In bright 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
