KEEP IT GOING
THE DASHBOARD GAUGE WAS GETTING LOW
LOOKING LIKE I’D SOON RUN OUT OF GAS
AS IF ON CUE MY FRIEND WOULD SHOW
HELPED ME SEE A GREENER PATCH OF GRASS
SAYING “GOOD SEED ALWAYS FINDS A FIELD TO GROW IN
YOU SHOULD KEEP IT GOING”
THERE’S BEEN MORE THAN A COUPLE TIMES
WHEN IT SEEMED A NIGHT MIGHT NEVER END
INEVITABLY HE’D CALL UP
SAYING “ANOTHER DAY’S AROUND THE BEND
AND EVERY SUN WILL FIND THE MORNING TO GLOW IN
YOU BETTER KEEP IT GOING
CUZ WHATEVER WAY THAT A RIVER CURRENT IS FLOWING
YOU SHOULD KEEP IT GOING”
SOME FRIENDS’LL COME AND GO JUST LIKE A WIND
WHILE OTHERS MAKE IT THROUGH THE THICK AND THINS
AND IF YOU FIND A REAL ONE TREAT ‘EM RIGHT
HOLD ONTO THE BOND THAT SHINES A LIGHT
MICHAEL WAS A FRIEND OF MINE
HOPE I WAS A GOOD ONE IN RETURN
AND EVEN THOUGH HE PASSED ALONG
WE’LL STILL HARMONIZE TIL IT’S MY TURN
CUZ EVERY SEED WILL FIND A FIELD TO GROW IN
WE GOTTA KEEP IT GOING
WHATEVER WAY THAT A RIVER CURRENT IS FLOWING
WE SHOULD KEEP IT GOING, YOU AND I
TOGETHER KEEP IT GOING
Mr. Tim!!!
Unbelievable!!!! (That means good!)
Mr. Joe
“Keep It Going” just journeyed me back to the AM Gold of the 70’s, and that’s about my favorite place to be. Thanks man. Great song.
Hey Mr, Joe,
Long time between posts, eh? Thanks kindly.
Mr. Tom (I’m sure “Mr. Tim” was a typo)
Hey Glenn,
Miss ya, man. Thanks for the listen and comment, and hope to connect soon. Antimony?
Tom
Love this song, Tom even though the first time I heard it I cried. Now when I listen to it it makes me think fondly of my brother and the joy that the two of you brought to so many through music. It definitely reminds me to appreciate my good friends!
Hello Paula,
Thank you, Paula, for your comments as we both miss him so much. So appreciative of our deep connection…Michael actually introduced me to Wes. The joy will continue, as he would have wanted. See you soon.
Tom
Good one, Tom. I will have to listen a few more times to grasp it all.
Thanks, Rog, for the listen. There are quite a few layers to Keep It Going, so I’d like to think it fairly naturally asks for multiple listens.
Tom
Hey Tom, Great song. Have been thinking about you recently and your musical prowess. I have been working on learning to play the guitar for the last 8 months or so. And I am finally close to playing my first song. New appreciation for guitarists as it requires not only manual dexterity, great concentration plus a ton of practice. All the best. Stan
Hey Stan, thank you for the listen and comments. So glad you’re committing to the guitar; it’s a great thing on any and all levels. I discover new things every time I play even after decades of playing…and I don’t even really read music anymore. Keep It Going also obviously relates to Jim, who we both miss. He was such a socializer and loved coming to my gigs and “mixing” when he was in town; we always joked about being identical twins separated at birth.
Tom
It’s a good friendship song, and I like the way the song and lyrics flow , so I’ll definitely Keep It Going, my
Friend!
Hey Stosh,
And you and I have been playing music and keeping our friendship going for a long time, sharing some amazing show experiences. Let’s make more, why not Keep It Going.
Tom
Yes my friend, let’s Keep It Going!
