"Break My Stride"

Last night I had the strangest dream

I sailed away to China

In a little rowboat to find you

And you said you had to get your laundry cleaned

Didn't want no one to hold you

What does that mean?

And you said

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride

Nobody gonna slow me down

Oh no

I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride

I'm running

And I won't touch ground

Oh no

I got to keep on moving

You're on a roll and now you pray it'll last

The road beyond was rocky

But now you're feeling cocky

You look at me and you see your past

Is that the reason

Why you're running so fast?

And she said

Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride

Nobody gonna slow me down

Oh no

I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride

I'm running

And I won't touch ground

Oh no

I got to keep on moving

(Never let another girl like you)

Work me over

(Never let another girl like you)

Drag me under

(If I meet another girl like you)

I will tell her

(Never want another girl like you)

Have to say

Oh

Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride

Nobody gonna slow me down

Oh no, oh no

I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride

I'm running

And I won't touch ground

Oh no

I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride

Nobody gonna slow me down

Oh no, oh no

I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride

I'm running

And I won't touch ground

Oh no

I got to keep on moving

(Whoa)

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride

Nobody gonna slow me down

Oh no

I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride

I'm running

And I won't touch ground

Oh no

I got to keep on moving
