Going Strong
Timeless Resilience: Scatman Crothers' Going Strong
Lyrics
Who says we're finished, it's just ain't true
Despite claims that the relationship is over, the speaker disagrees and asserts that it's not true.
Though time has slowed us, we're far from through
Although time has passed, it hasn't diminished the strength of the relationship; they are far from being finished.
And the years have showed us life's an old sweet song
The years have taught them that life is like an old, beautiful song with its ups and downs.
We ain't gonna pack it in yet, cause we're going strong
They are not giving up on the relationship because they are still going strong.
Our hearts still ticking, our pulse is fine
Despite the passage of time, their hearts are still beating, and their vitality is intact.
Though we're still pursuing love, song and wine
They continue to pursue love, music, and enjoyment in life.
And that's what we've been doing our whole life long
Throughout their entire lives, their focus has been on love, music, and enjoying life.
We ain't gonna throw the towel in, we're going strong
They won't give up; they're determined to keep going strong and won't throw in the towel.
Now, we ain't no worn out tin lizzy chugging down the line
They are not like a worn-out car; life has kept them busy, and they are doing well.
Life has kept us good and busy and we're doing fine
Despite being kept busy by life, they are in good spirits and doing fine.
So what, no jogging, why that ain't so rough
They don't need to jog; it's not a hardship for them. Their engines are still running, and that's sufficient.
Our motors still running, that's good enough
Even without rigorous exercise, they still have the energy to keep going.
And that's what we've been doing if a day goes wrong
When things go wrong in a day, they keep their motors running and stay resilient.
No one's gonna pull that plug out, we're going strong
They won't let anyone end their journey; they are determined to keep going strong.
We're going strong, we're going strong, we're going strong
Repetition emphasizing that they are indeed going strong.
Yeah, we're going strong, yeah, I tell you cause we're going strong
Emphasizing once more that they are going strong and won't be easily deterred.
Going strong
Reiterating the theme that they are continuing to go strong.
