[Chorus]
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row

[Verse 1]
Moving is breathing and breathing is life
Stopping is dying, you'll be alright
Life is a hammer waiting to drop
Drift in the shallows and the rowing won't stop

[Chorus]
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row

[Verse 2]
Can't see the sky, nothing's on the horizon
Can't feel my hands and the water keeps rising
Can't fall asleep 'cause I wake up dead
I just keep pulling, I just keep rowing

[Chorus]
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row

[Verse 3]
Rowing is living and living is hard
But living beats losing all that we are
All that we know of and all that we feel
All we remember, imagined or real
(All we remember, imagined or real)
Hey
I heard an echo, but the answer had changed
From the word I remembered that I started out saying
Living is cheating, if you're not pulling oars
The current is leaving, I'll get mine, you'll get yours

[Chorus]
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row

[Bridge]
Rowing is bleeding, bleeding is breathing
Breathing is feeling, burning, and freezing
We're getting dirty, but I started out clean
Keep on rowing at
Keep on rowing at
Keep on pulling at
Keep on pulling at
Keep on rowing at
Keep on rowing at
Keep on rowing at
Keep on rowing at
Keep………. on rowing
Keep on rowing

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row
Don't know where I'm going, I just keep on rowing
I just keep on pulling, gotta row

Soundgarden

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
