Til the Goin’ Gets Gone

[Verse 1]
Oh the wheels, they keep on spinnin’, I ain’t gettin' anywhere
It’s been drivin' me into the ground, gonna bury my bones there
And I hope someday they find me, see that I was on my way
When I lay down by the side of the road where I made my grave

[Chorus]
Oh, I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin' on
From the dead of night to the break of the early dawn
Yeah, I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin' on
Keep on goin’, little darlin’, 'til the goin' gets gone

[Verse 2]
I’ve been chasin’, I’ve been runnin', gettin' lost and gettin' found
I've been sinkin', I’ve been swimmin' and one time I nearly drowned
All the rundown dirty motels, all the cities and small towns
Leave 'em in rearview mirror while the wheels keep spinnin' 'round

[Chorus]
'Cause I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin' on
From the dead of night to the break of the early dawn
Yeah, I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin' on
Keep on goin’, little darlin’, 'til the goin' gets gone

[Verse 3]
Well I guess I’m getting older and I prob'ly should slow down
Take the exit off the freeway and head on homeward bound
But I know it won't be long until the road beckons me back
And you see me on The '66 in a vintage Cadillac

[Chorus]
Oh, I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin' on
From the dead of night to the break of the early dawn
Yeah, I gotta keep goin', gotta keep goin' on
Keep on goin’, little darlin’, 'til the goin' gets gone
Keep on goin’, little darlin’, 'til the goin' gets gone
Keep on goin’, little darlin’, 'til the goin' gets gone
