Cruisin'
Blake Whiteley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cruisin′
You know it's nights like these man.
God assured me that I′m doin' what I'm supposed to do
I′m answerin′ my call. How 'bout you?
My heart is to make music for the Lord
Write lyrics when I′m bored.
Good vibes with the truth
Now that's two things you can′t ignore
Release some pride just for free
This goes to the ones who can't afford
And If I′m honest I can't afford, but
There's a goal I′m movin′ t'ward
Hey this a movement across movement
I guess with this and get to it
My faith is never undoing
Every hour I′m showin' improvement
Keep grooving to that steel guitar
My band we got to keep cruisin′
Hit the old dirt road and the big old bus
That people wonder what we doin'
Yeah, uh
I′m only here for the weekend
Why don't you listen up while I'm speakin′?
Cause they beat down bloody and bruised
Bein′ real don't appeal to the brother in you, hey
Now that′s too pride. Loves kiss me what chu got?
I'mma get up there with that microphone
I give ′em hope and I ain't gonna stop.
Tell me turn down for what?
I ain′t gonna stop 'til they take me out
Say 'I′m in the for the cash, I don′t make enough'
You think I care ′bout the banky stuff? Look
It's a call, not a dream, tryin′ to wake 'em up
A lot of things in the world wanna make it tough
Imma get it how we live it boy we raise in love
It′s too real just to make 'em up, yeah

'Ey I′mma keep runnin′ 'til the wheel falls off
I′mma keep goin' all the way til the end no matter
What the call cost
I′mma put the tire back, next track, dawg I don't count it on us
I′mma keep goin' all the way til the end no matter what the call cost
Jump inside with me
Yo, I'm in the back seat
Thankin′ God I got this vaccine
My shot to make a difference in the world
Pickin′ out them black sheep
I gotta tell 'em there′s more than a rat race
This burden is just a track meet
And no matter if you're not in shape
His love will make you an athlete
I gotta get a 40-hour week in
But it′s hard to recover from the weak end
Tryin' stay content while I′m at work
Easy for discouragement to sneak in
Plus I got no time to kick back
Not enough time to go see friends
Send a text message, 'I love you'
Hope you know that′s not the reason
I can′t make it, yeah
Wish you were by my side (yup)
Why don't you come along for the ride? (Let′s go)
Tryin' to stay up all night
GPS said we just arrived
I′mma get rest, let me wipe my eyes
He can do that boy it's no surprise
The God I serve will get you ready to die. Do you come alive?
I′m here to testify, who's next to fly?
We'll leave you mesmerized
I got a gang of people with me and they′re ready to ride
This yo′ moment. Tell me what you decide
It's paradise but you warpin′ the sky, look
You see that, we need that
I'm good in Christ took me back
His grace a gift like a free app
You confess with your tongue you believe that





Keep cruisin′, dawg, we rollin' to the next stop
Keep cruisin′, dawg (repeat)
