Lyrics

Whatever Keeps You Going

I got a friend named Tommy He still drives his old man’s Honda He spends all of his money Trying to keep the damn thing running He lost his dad last summer Tommy was his only son and That’s all he got from him So he ain’t gonna stop But whatever keeps you going Keeps your wheels rolling Whatever helps you sleep at night Or gets you up in the morning It might be something you hate Or you love Or you can’t let go of But whatever keeps you going She just started college And I guess that she thought it Wouldn’t be so hard to leave her mama Back in Michigan So she drives from Wisconsin Way too often Just to get a good talk in And drives back again But whatever keeps you going Keeps your wheels rolling Whatever helps you sleep at night Or gets you up in the morning It might be something you hate Or you love Or you can’t let go of Whatever keeps you going There’s a big old farm house Bout 45 miles south And it’s far enough out that You can see the stars Well nothing comes easy So I work on the weekend So someday we can Make it ours Whatever keeps you going Keeps your wheels rolling Whatever helps you sleep at night Or gets you up in the morning It might be something you hate Or you love Or you can’t let go of Whatever keeps you going
