Everybody sounds like a broken record
gotta get on and trying forget it'
that's easier said than done
when you lose your heart
to a woman like that
it don't matter how tough you act
you can look your part
but ain't moving on.
That's why i'm standing still
call me stubborn but i ain't quitting till
till the stars of the southern cross
burn to black and stop shining down
There's no jet planes
taking off from old London town
and they ain't writing songs in Nashville
done rolling dice in Vegas
when Elvis ain't king
Loretta ain't queen
and there ain't no blues in Memphis
so it's looking like never
looking like i'm never gonna stop loving you
it's looking like never
looking like i'm never gonna stop loving you
starting today i'm gonna give it a whirl
leave the house maybe meet a girl
yeah we'll see how long that lasts
they won't smile like she did
they won't k** me with just one kiss
that's why i'm running back
back to standing still
call me stubborn but i ain't quitting till..
There's a thousand horses
blowing through this one horse town
driving through the desert
it's ten below, snow falling down
and they ain't writing songs in Nashville
done rolling dice in Vegas
when Elvis ain't king
Loretta ain't queen
and there ain't no blues in Memphis
so it's looking like never
looking like i'm never gonna stop loving you
it's looking like never
looking like i'm never gonna stop loving you
That's why i'm standing still
call me stubborn but i ain't quitting till...
Until everyone is sleeping
and the lights turn off in New York City
and the girl in Hollywood
they ain't so thin and they ain't so pretty
and they ain't writing songs in Nashville
done rolling dice in Vegas
when Elvis ain't king
Loretta ain't queen
and there ain't no blues in Memphis
so it's looking like never
looking like i'm never gonna stop loving you
it's looking like never
looking like i'm never gonna stop loving you
