《I Quit》的詞曲由史蒂夫·旺達(Steve Wariner)創作,並由他本人在1995年演唱。歌詞如下:
I got my ticket, the day before the weekend,
All packed and ready, the morning light burned the window sill.
Yeah, I said my goodbyes with the mornin' sun givin' my heart its second thought,
Yeah, they knew what was up when I grabbed my luggage and said "I quit"
Chorus:
I quit livin' like this, I quit livin' in the past,
I quit hangin' on the memories, I'm movin' forward now.
I quit lyin' in the dark, I quit runnin' from my dreams,
I quit all of these thoughts that are keepin' me up at night.
I drove all night long, I couldn't sleep a wink,
Just thought about all the things that I'm gonna do in my new free life.
Yeah, I woke up in a motel room, surrounded by a neon light show,
Yeah, I was livin' proof that dreams come true when you quit running and you let go
Chorus:
I quit livin' like this, I quit livin' in the past,
I quit hangin' on the memories, I'm movin' forward now.
I quit lyin' in the dark, I quit runnin' from my dreams,
I quit all of these thoughts that are keepin' me up at night.
So if you ever feel like you're living a life that you don't want to,
If you're tryin' to hold on to a dream that has already come and gone.
Just remember that it's over, it's time to let it go,
And you can start a new life with a new thought and a new song
Chorus:
I quit livin' like this, I quit livin' in the past,
I quit hangin' on the memories, I'm movin' forward now.
I quit lyin' in the dark, I quit runnin' from my dreams,
Yeah, I quit all of these thoughts that are keepin' me up at night.
Now I sleep all day and play all night
Gonna be a star on the rise...
No more of that static or cold red light...
It was time to say goodbye to the old me and hello to a brand new day...
So if you feel like giving up...
You don't have to be true to yourself anymore...
You can pick up the pieces and start again...
But remember...
Life is what you make it...
And you can make it anything you want it to be...
So don't give up...
Just keep on trying...
You might just find...
That your dreams do come true...
And you can start a new life with a new thought and a new song...
So don't give up now...
Just keep on going...
You might just find...
That your dreams do come true.
