Song title: Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now - Jul-Dec 1971 version
C'mon Billy won't you break out the wine
I wanna see you pop that cork
Today is the day we have all been waiting for
Now I'm gonna get down to some serious celebrating
We ain't been out of this one horse town
This bus is gonna take us
Nothing can stop me now
Got a ticket to New York
Nothing can stop me now
Np, No, nothing can stop me now
Say my goodbyes to Mary
She's just standing there at the door
I'm dont wanna leave that women so bluesy
I never left that girl before
A man's gotta seek his fortune
A man's gotta seek his fame
I tell you when I get back this whole town's gonna know my name
No nothing can stop this boy
Not even my mama
No, nothing can stop me now
No, no, no
C'mon Billy won't you break out the wine
I wanna see you pop that cork
Today is the day we have all been waiting for
Mama, we're gonna get down to some serious celebratin'
Hey Mr Greyhound driver
Get me there right on time
All I wanna know is how far to go
Until we arrive
No, nothing can stop me
Don't let it stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now
Nothing can stop me now Notes:

Nothing can stop me now - Version 2
C'mon Billy won't you take out you car
I wanna see you cut that mark
This is what we have all been waiting for
Got to have us some serious celebrating
Cause there ain't been nothing in this one horse town
Not in a long time sugar
Ain't nothing can stop me now
Got to get to New York
No, no, nothing can stop the boy now
No, not even his mama
Play that guitar, you better cut loose
Think he's gonna merit a star
I'm don't wanna leave that women so blue
You know I've never held back girl before, no
A man's gotta seek his fortune, ah, ah, ah
I tell you when I get back
This whole town's gonna know my name
No nothing can stop me now
No nothing can stop the boy now
No, not even my mama
No, nothing can stop him now
No, no, nothing at all
C'mon Louie won't you break out some more
I wanna see you rock and roll
Seems to me what we have all been waiting for
I wanna get to do some serious celebratin'
Hey Mr. good time driver
It's good to see you right on time
And all I wanna know is how far do we go
If you need a ride
Oh no, no, nothing can stop me
Nothing can stop him now
Not even my mama
Not even the Middletown police
No, nothing can stop me now
No, nothing can stop me now
No one can stop me now Notes:
Bruce Springsteen Band/Dr Zoom and the Sonic Boom. Aka "C'mon Billy break out the wine".
