Can't Stop Me Now

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 proud
