Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't gonna stop 'cause they tell me so
'Cause 99 miles per hour baby,
Is how fast that I like to go.
Can't keep up with my rhythm
Though they keep trying.
Too quick for the lines they throw.
I walk to the sound of my own drum,
We go, they go, we go, hey yeah yeah yeah
Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really mean it, mean it, so go
Gotta feel it, honey takes control
Really mean it, mean it
I wake up to the city of angels
To see my name headlining the coast
They say I'm a walking dreamer, baby
If I stop they would make the show
Can't keep up with my rhythm
Though they keep trying.
Too quick for the lines they throw.
I walk to the sound of my own drum,
We go, they go, we go, hey yeah yeah yeah
Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really mean it, mean it, so go
Gotta feel it, honey takes control
Really mean it, mean it
Hey, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really mean it, mean it, so go
Gotta feel it, honey takes control
Really mean it, mean it
Everybody walk
Everybody walk
Everybody walk, walk, walk
Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really mean it, mean it, so go
Gotta feel it, honey takes control
Really mean it, mean it
Oh, here we go
Feel it in my soul
Really mean it, mean it, so go
Gotta feel it, honey takes control
Really mean it, mean it

This song was played at the Special Olympics in Los Angeles. It makes think of all the Special Kids I had the pleasure to meet.
This song would pump up the Special Kids, like no other songs. Funny how no one knew the title of the song.
It took me years to find this song. I saw a movie in early January. I checked the credits of the movie for the name of this song. It was there.Then, I found the song on the sound track of the movie.
So, now I found the song on YouTube. With me watching the song there. It should have at least 50 views, just from me.
You go , we go . Yeah yeah ....
