The Doobie Brothers  IT KEEPS YOU RUNNIN' (lyrics / from vinyl LP)

Say, where you gonna go?
Girl, where you gonna hide?
You go on leavin' out your heart
And all it's sayin' down deep inside
Woah, darling
From here I can feel your heartbeat
Oh, you got me all wrong
You ain't got no worry
You just been lonely too long
Oh, aah
I know what it means to hide your heart
From a long time ago
Oh, darlin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah, it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah, it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah, it keeps you runnin'
Yeah
It keeps you runnin', yeah, it keeps you runnin'
Oh, I know how you feel
Hey, you know I been there
But what you're keepin' to yourself
Oh, you know it just ain't fair
Oh no
Are you gonna worry
For the rest of your life?
Eh, yeah
Why you in such a hurry
To be lonely one more night?
Eh, yeah
Well, I know what it means to hide your heart
From a long time ago
Oh, darlin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah, it keeps you runnin'
Eh, yeah
It keeps you runnin', yeah, it keeps you runnin'
I know it does, baby
It keeps you runnin', yeah, it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah, it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin'

All posts in this channel are rendered in old school using restored vinyl LPs. Unless noted, this channel does not use recordings from CDs. As much as possible, I attempted to remove most of the pops and crackles from the original vinyl album. Some remastering was applied to make the performance cut through within the confines of the loudness wars.

Hope you enjoy.
