Steady as We Go

Dave Matthews Band · Stand Up [2005]

I walk halfway around the world

Just to sit down by your side

And I would do most anything girl

To be the apple of your eye

Troubles they may come and go

But good times

They're the gold

And if the road gets rocky girl

Just steady as we go



Anyplace you wanna go you go

You know i'll be next to you

If it's treasure baby you're looking for

I'll search the whole world through

Though trouble they may come and go

But good times

They're the gold

So if the road gets rocky girl

Just steady as we go



When the storm comes shelter me

I don't say a word

And you know exactly what I mean

In the darkest times

You shine on me

Set me free

And keep me steady as we go



So if you heart rings dry my love

I will fill your cup

And if your load gets heavy girl

I will lift you up

But troubles they may come and go

But good times be the gold

So if the road gets rocky girl

Just steady as we go



Shine

Shine

Shine

Shine on me hey

Steady as We Go
