If You Keep Going Like You're Going

from This Town Is Only Going To Break Your Heart by Jason Myles Goss

/

lyrics

The neighbors keep at it all through the night
Budweiser tallboys and a mother daughter fight
Another crash of a mirror or a shattering light
With no sign of any kind of surrender in sight

The trucks and the sirens always keep you awake
No matter how much red wine or melatonin that you take
Oh this blanket is heavy yet you shiver and shake
And you tear at the air like your soul is at stake

If you keep going like you're going
You ain't going to last much longer

If you keep going like you're going
You ain't going to last much longer now

I was stranded in Youngstown with the ice and the sand
Knee deep in this loneliness that grows in a man
I try to carry it on the back of what a boy's dream demands
On this motel bed with my head in my hands

I have this dream I'm a prisoner in a war that I've fought
They bring me out in shackles on the day I've been caught
I tip my hat towards the firing squad as they line up their shot
With the wild wind taking in the last breath I've got

If you keep going like you're going
You ain't going to last much longer

If you keep going like you're going
You ain't going to last much longer now

And I hope you will love me for a long time darling
I'm following you home on the only road I know

In the winter I would hold you when the radiator broke
I'd see your breath in the darkness when you'd laugh at my jokes
We'd pretend we were famous, hanging with all kinds of folks
And we'd smile all the while neither one of us spoke

If you keep going like you're going
You ain't going to last much longer

If you keep going like you're going
You ain't going to last much longer now
