Lyrics - Keep the Word Movin'

Keep the Word Movin'
(written by Walter Egan, from 2002's Beach Access)

Oh it’s a cold, cold day down in Tennessee
And I just don’t know what is wrong with me
There’s frost out on my Cherokee
I’m land locked

And these days, these days go rushing by
And I do my best just to try and try
But I just can’t turn back the hands of time
That damn clock

And the phone rings, I pick it up
What my friend says just picks me up
Keep the word movin,’ he says
Keep the word movin’
The dream’s not dead

And there was once a time we hung around
When we’d play our song just to hear the sound
Seems like nothing then ever got us down
In those days

But now we live our lives in another place
And devote our time to this crazy chase
And we don’t forget but the time erases
Those days

Sometimes it seems out of reach
Those days and nights by the beach
Keep the word movin,’ he says
Keep the word movin’
The dream’s not dead
Hey!
Hey!

And don’t you know this life is a funny thing
And you never know just what it will bring
When they say there’s always another spring
‘Til then, yeah

And now I find myself on a big ol’ plane
Just a flyin’ out to the golden state
‘Cause tonight the band’s gonna play again
Imagine

I never give up
I never say die
Better to live
Better to fly
Keep the word movin,’ he says
Keep the word movin’
The dream’s not dead
Keep the word movin,’ he says
Keep the word movin’
The dream’s not dead
