Can't Stop Me Now Lyrics

Can't Stop Me Now - Rod Stewart
Intro - C Am Dm C (x 2)
I stood up straight and sang for the record company man
My enthusiasm filled the room
I was young and I was keen with the devil in my stream
As I hollered out an old blues tune
We can't sign you son 'cause you don't fit in the mould
It's your hair and your nose and your clothes
I said thank you gentlemen for this opportunity
And moved on down the road
I remember I used to say
(Chorus)
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
So proud .... so proud
Well it was rough and it was tough but I couldn't get enough
Of this rhythm and blues I craved
I was singing in the pubs, singing in the clubs
Then along came Maggie May
All the things they said to me and all the things I heard
I had a point to prove ? Oh yeah
I will climb this mountain with this God given gift
If it's the last thing that I do
And I remember thinking
(Chorus)
Born to ramble, born to sing
In a new world of rock and roll
One man in particular filled my heart with pride
And he fired up my soul Oh Yeah
Thanks for the faith
Thanks for the patience
Thanks for the helping hand
Thanks for the love
Thanks for the guidance
Thanks for the tartan pride
Instrumental Break C Am F C (Repeat x 2)
Chorus - Repeat to fade
