Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They said love was a thing of the past
That these days, nothin' ever lasts
This old world is movin' too fast
[Verse 2]
Yeah, sometimes, we ride around
She plays her radio up loud
If I was sad, well, I'm happy now (Yeah)
[Chorus]
And it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side
Honey, you're gettin' me by
Yeah, you're keepin' me alive (Oh)
[Verse 3]
I got a job, I work hard
These days, the money don't go very far
It's hard enough keepin' gas in the car
[Verse 4]
But sometimes, we ride around
She plays her radio up load
If I was sad, well, I'm happy now
[Chorus]
Yeah, and it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side
Honey, you're gettin' me by
Yeah, you're keepin' me alive (Alright)
[Instrumental]
And it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side
Honey, you're gettin' me by
Yeah, you're keepin' me alive
Yeah, you're keepin' me alive
Yeah, you're keepin' me alive
[Outro]
Alright
Woah
[Instrumental]
Ooh, yeah, I dug that
