[Verse 1]
You can cry if you want to, you can rage at the night
You can blame all your wounds on the world if you like
You can drink from the bottle, no ice and no glass
You can lie in the mornin' and say it's your last

[Chorus]
But you won't stop there, no you won't stop there
You can tell yourself different but you won't stop there

[Verse 2]
You can study the ancients, you can learn every fact
You can follow the cycles that leave and come back
How everything changes, it's been ever thus
One day you're a comet, the next day you're dust

[Chorus]
But you won't stop there, no you won't stop there
There's always the future and you won't stop there

[Bridge]
Tyrants and kings do their usual things
And you try to stay out of their way
Follow the truth and you'll find what you need every day

[Verse 3]
There's always tomorrow, always a chance
You can stand in the spotlight and not have to dance
You can find something solid, stronger than steel
And it might touch your heart 'cause it just might be real

[Chorus]
But you won't stop there, no you won't stop there
It's not in your nature and you won't stop there
No you won't stop there, no you won't stop there
There's always tomorrow so you won't stop there

In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.
