I spit on the streets in San Called the record and company man
My enthusiasm filled the room
I was young and I was keen With the devil in my stream
As I hollowed at an old blues tune
We can't sign your sign 'Cause we're doper than the mole
That you had on your nose and your clothes
I should thank you gentleman For this life that you brought me
Now move on down the road
I remember how I used to say
They can't stop me now The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud
Well nothing was tough But I couldn't get enough
Out this rhythm and blues I crave
I was singing in the parks Singing in the clubs
Then along came agony
All the things he said to me And all the things I heard
I had a point to prove
I will climb this mountain With this god given gift
If it's the last thing that I do
And I remember thinking
They can't stop me now The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud
They can't stop me now The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud
Born to ramble Born to sing
In a new world of rock n roll
Woman in particular Feel my heart will cry
And if I hold my song
Thanks for the faith Thanks for the patience
Thanks for the helping hand
Thanks for the love Thanks for the guidance
Thanks for the talk and pride
They can't stop me now The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud
They can't stop me now The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud
They can't stop me now The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now The world is waiting
I'm gonna make you proud
They can't stop me now The world is waiting
It's my turn to stand out in the crowd
They can't stop me now The tide is turning
I'm gonna make you proud
