Whatever Keeps You Going

I got a friend named Tommy

He still drives his old man's Honda

He spends all of his money

Trying to keep the damn thing running

He lost his dad last summer

Tommy was his only son and

It's all he got from him

So he ain't gonna stop

But whatever keeps you going

Keeps your wheels rolling

Whatever helps you sleep at night

Or gets you up in the morning

It might be something you hate

Or you love, or you can't let go of

But whatever keeps you going

Well, she just started college

And I guess that she thought

It wouldn't be so hard to leave mama

Back in Michigan

So she drives from Wisconsin

Way too often

Just to get a good talk in

And drives back again

But whatever keeps you going

Keeps your wheels rolling

Whatever helps you sleep at night

Or gets you up in the morning

It might be something you hate

Or you love, or you can't let go of

Whatever keeps you going

Whatever keeps you going

There's a big old farm house

'Bout 45 miles south

And it's far enough out that

You can see the stars

Well, nothing comes easy

So I work on the weekend

So someday we can

Make it ours

Whatever keeps you going

Keeps your wheels rolling

Whatever helps you sleep at night

Or gets you up in the morning

It might be something you hate

Or you love, or you can't let go of

Whatever keeps you going

Whatever keeps you going

Whatever keeps you going
