Rod Stewart - Can't Stop Me Now Lyrics






[Verse:]
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.
Now move 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

[Verse:]
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
Was singing in the clubs
Then along came Maggie May

All the things he 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 2x:]
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)

[Bridge:]
Born to ramble
Born to sing
In a new world of rock'n'roll
One man in particular
Filled my heart with pride
And he fired up my soul

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

[Chorus 2x:]
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

    Our father was a Scot. Having lost both Mom and Dad this year, this song brings a tear to my eye as I sing along in my heart with love and appreciation of the inspiration our parents blessed us with during their lives. Love you Mom and Dad. This is one of the greatest tributes to parents in a song. Thank you, Rod!

  74. A.... F....

    AGRADABLE CANCION

  75. C.... M....

    If you check the liner notes from "Vagabond Heart" it shows a snap of his dad wearing the Tam O'Shanter in the Stewart Tartan w/ the tag line, "Thanks for the Tartan Pride." He always said his dad was his biggest fan; I think it's great that he continues to honor his dad in this manner.

  76. C.... M....

    How about "Man Of Constant Sorrow" - the same lyrics made famous by Dan Tyminski and the, "Soggy Bottom Boys" from the 2000 film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?” Rod did his own arrangement for the song on his first LP in the UK, "An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down" released here as "The Rod Stewart Album" Being all of 12, I used my vacation spending money to pick up "An Old Raincoat" in Canada. I was 11/12 @ the time, (55 this year) so yea I'm proud to say I'm a life long Rod Stewart fan.

  77. G.... G....

    Mandoling Wind - you are a fan - most people don't remember, how about Baby Jane, Sonny, Every picture tells a story. Big time fan and have to many Rod Stewart's cassettes

  78. G.... G....

    You know he wrote this song for his DAD

  79. G.... G....

    Can't stop me now

  80. D.... J....

    FANTASTIC!!

  81. v.... ....

    Heavens above he has not put this out as a single.
    Sadly........
    What a fab song, it's something that should really be hitting the airwaves.
    It has that feel good, tap your feet and have a good time.
    Great hook, great party song.

  82. d.... ....

    You know that feeling you get when you hear a song that just has so much to give? Goosebumps. Everytime. I'm thankful he wrote this.

  83. d.... ....

    It's songs like this that keep us all young.

  84. J.... P....

    just brilliant !

  85. G.... G....

    This is a great song, he actually takes time to thank the real people that made him who he has become. I am a longtime fan over 35 years. I belong to fan club and used to get the SMILER. Would like to see him sing this live and he is in Las Vegas on my birthday. What a way to bring 50 in - Yes going

  86. j.... l....

    I am thinking this song/video would be an excellent song to make a video of our fine troops packing up and leaving Afghanistan this coming year! "so proud, so proud, the world is waiting! thx for the patience,thx for the helping hand. thx for the love etc!" Anyone else think the same? If anyone has MILITARY FOOTAGE OR PICS you'd trust me to have, please send 'em too me and I'll see what I can put together for ya'll. My friend and his men have made me so proud! GOD BLESS OUR FINE TROOPS! THX!!!

  87. C.... M....

    Rod and his "Tartan Pride" is woven through the lives of those of us who have always loved him. He is what he is; genuine and true. This is my favorite track off the new album; and it make me feel like the teenager I was back when Mandolin Wind, Maggie May and You Wear It Well filled the radio airwaves. This is sure to be another classic.

  88. J.... X....

    I have so many memories where Rod is with me: from grade school through
    high school, from college 'till today!

  89. A.... C....

    Very catchy.
