Got a long road, mountains up ahead
I was gonna do, what I was born to do
Life's thrown it all at us but here we stand
I'm gonna do what I was born to do
Gonna keep me from loving you
No turnin', no runnin', nobody, no nothin's
No cold stare, no cursin', nobody, no nothin's
Nobody'd ever be good enough for his little girl
I don't give a damn what the world says
Looks like your daddy was the easy part
We did some growin' up
Gonna keep me from loving you
Had a fast car, had a hard head
Your daddy hated me, 'cause you were into me
I'm gonna do what I was born to do
Gonna keep me from loving you
No turnin', no runnin', nobody, no nothin's
Yeah, how could we have known how hard it'd be
Watched some friends give up
Got a long road, mountains up ahead
You made A's and B's, I was C's and D's
Didn't give a damn what he said
Just tryin' to stay in love, I thought I'd be tough
Don't give a damn what the world says
