Norma Gale
We stayed in White River
And we drank it dry
Did you feel as lost as I did?
In that maze of old hotel rooms
And living room floors
When I walked Toronto down to Nashville
I knew I had to keep going
I knew I had to keep going
I was an angel every morning
And I was a devil in the night
Did you feel as lost as I did?
When your father left us lonely
When the money ran too low
When I knew the bar was empty
I knew I had to keep going
I knew I had to keep going
I knew I had to keep going
I knew I had to keep going
I wanted to believe in every promise that I made
I was working every night
While you were picking up the change
And said to you, my darling
Each time I walk away
Oh, you know I have to go
I couldn't stay
In a bright flash of silver
I saw my life inside a gun
I know you felt as lost as I did
You cried half the way to Graceland
In the middle of the night
With your head upon my shoulder
I knew I had to keep going
I knew I had to keep going
Oh, I knew I had to keep going
I knew I had to keep going
Oh, I knew I had to keep going
I knew I had to keep going
