I stood up straight and sang For the record company man My enthusiasm filled the room I was young and I was keen With the devil in my stream As I hollered out an Old Blues tune.
"We can't sign you, son 'Cause you don't fit in the mould. It's your hair and your nose and your clothes." I said, "Thank you gentlemen For this opportunity. Now move on down the road."
I remember 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 So proud, so proud
Well it was rough and it was tough But I couldn't get enough Of this rhythm and blues I craved I was singing in the pubs Was singing in the clubs Then along came Maggie May
All the things he said to me And all the things I heard I had a point to prove, oh, yeah. 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 (So proud, so proud)
Born to ramble Born to sing In a new world of rock'n'roll One man in particular Filled my heart with pride And he fired up my soul
Thanks for the faith Thanks for the patience Thanks for the helping hand Thanks for the love Thanks for the guidance Thanks for the tartan 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 proudTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
