Tugboat Jackson - Keep Lovin'

Tugboat Jackson

 Tugboat Jackson's latest song touches on aging, and how things in a relationship can change due to aging, but that people can make up for what is lost and continue to be in a loving relationship. He's backed up in this recording by Big Marv and The Hodads, and the group likes the song so much they are considering doing their own cover version! Tugboat plays straight up guitar soloing instead of his usual slide guitar, and displays some great solo work at towards the end of the song.

 I got a fine woman, yes indeed! 

Oh, I tell ya, got a fine woman, yes indeed! 

She's my sweetie, she's all I need 

 

You young folks, listen to what I say. 

Keep on lovin' and it won't go away! 

Things will change you can bet, 

but your needs'll still be met,

 Just keep on lovin' it won't go away! 

 

When we get together, my heart turns glad. 

Every time I see her, my heart gets glad. 

It feels real good to not be so damn sad! 

 

Yeah, you lose some things when ya grow old. 

But you can still be happy, be bold! 

Enjoy what ya'll can still do, 

still have fun when yer through, 

You can still be happy and bold. 

 

There's still a spark to get us goin' 

Better believe ,there's still a spark that gets us goin' 

Sure a lot better than bein' all alone. 

 

We still make love from time to time, 

We just fill in the blanks with our mind, 

With lots of sweet talk, that's mighty fine. 

Hope ya'll know what I'm talkin' 'bout. 

Keep on lovin' that's what it's all about. 

 

Don't stop sweet talkin' to her! 

Don't you stop sweet talkin' to her! 

That'll keep love goin' for sure. 

 

Treat her with love, and respect! 

Listen! You treat her with love, and respect! 

And your love will have no defect! 

 

Ya know, we all grow old, or we don't. 

You bet, we all grow old, or we don't.

 If you don't keep goin'......you surely won't.
