Lyrics
CHORUS
Oh you can't get anywhere
when you're busy keeping both feet on the ground.
There's just no chance of making life into a dance
when you're busy keeping both feet on the ground.
You got to live every moment, wake up with the dawn
Before you know it all your mornings will be gone.
And you can't get anywhere
when you're busy keeping both feet on the ground.
VERSE 1
There's an avenue of communication
we've been traveling along together.
And it don't matter much if the road gets tough,
or we run into some stormy weather.
'Cause if the road gets bumpy and the wind blows strong,
As long as we keep moving we can always get along.
And you can't get anywhere
When you're busy keeping both feet on the ground.
CHORUS
Oh you can't get anywhere
when you're busy keeping both feet on the ground.
There's just no chance of making life into a dance
when you're busy keeping both feet on the ground.
You got to live every moment, wake up with the dawn
Before you know it all your mornings will be gone.
And you can't get anywhere
when you're busy keeping both feet on the ground.
VERSE 2
There's so much in life to live for
even 'tho the going can get rough,
If we think of lots of ways to give more
'stead of worrying about the stuff that's not enough.
Take it from me if you have any doubt
What you put into life is all you're ever getting out
And you can't get anywhere
when you're busy keeping both feet on the ground.
CHORUS
Oh you can't get anywhere
when you're busy keeping both feet on the ground.
There's just no chance of making life into a dance
when you're busy keeping both feet on the ground.
You got to live every moment, wake up with the dawn
Before you know it all your mornings will be gone.
And you can't get anywhere
when you're busy keeping both feet, busy keeping both feet,
busy keeping both feet... on the ground.
