Suzy Bogguss Lyrics
"This Is the Beginning"

Suzy Bogguss & Chet Atkins

You've been knocked down, you've been dragged out
You've been misled and left for dead in the shadow of doubt
Over your shoulder is your only view
And all I can say, is don't let yesterday get the best of you.

This is the beginning, this is not the end
This is not the time to be lyin' down and finally givin' in
This world keeps spinning around and again
And this is the beginning this is not the end.

--- Instrumental ---

Runnin' leaves you breathless, standin' makes you swoon
Fightin' leaves you layin' down
And stayin' down and prayin' it's all over soon
Who knows what's waiting further on up the track
One thing I know is there ain't no road gonna take you back.

Cause this is the beginning, this is not the end
This is not the time to be lyin' down and finally givin' in
This world keeps spinning around and again
And this is the beginning this is not the end.

--- Chet Atkins Instrumental ---

One day you're flyin', next day you crawl
Next day you don't know why
You can only fly so high till you begin to fall
But sooner or later, you'll go it alone
There's only one job and there's
Nobody's problems to solve but your own.

Cause this is the beginning, this is not the end
This is not the time to be lyin' down and finally givin' in
This world keeps spinning around and again
And this is the beginning this is not the end.

No, this is not the end yeah...

--- Chet Atkins Instrumental to fade ---
