Story Behind The Song

After a trip to LA to meet labels, agents and lawyers, the industry had various pieces of advice for Ruth Girls, an all-sister act from Illinois. Comments like "If you dye your hair green and pierce your faces, you'll look tougher", "You should bring back Mowtown - nobody's doing that". "You should be a country act", "Can you dye your hair black? We're not signing blondes now". So they went back to Illinois and continued to do their own thing independently, because, hell, they made it this far.

Song Description

About the music industry, but it will appeal to annyone who has decided to reject bad advice and do things their own way.

Lyrics

~ Made it This Far ~

Just keep on, just keep on, just keep on...

Verse 1:
So divided
I keep rewinding
Every body's got too much to say
Hit the highway
Goodbye LA
Going back to doing things my way

Don't ya change my clothes
Don't ya dye my hair
Don't ya pierce my nose
You don't know who I am
Don't ya change my song
'cause you've got me wrong
Gotta do this my way

Chorus:
I'll make it by myself
I can't be someone else
I'll take my chances 'cause I
Made it this far yeah
We're walking out the door
We had it right before
You got your answers but we
Made it this far yeah

Made it this far

Verse 2:
Feeling stronger
'cause I belong here
Keep believing 'cause that's all it takes
This is my voice
This is my choice
Going back to doing things my way

Don't ya change my clothes
Don't ya dye my hair
Don't ya pierce my nose
You don't know who I am
Don't ya change my song
'cause you've got me wrong
Gotta do this my way

Chorus:
I'll make it by myself
I can't be someone else
I'll take my chances 'cause I
Made it this far yeah
We're walking out the door
We had it right before
You got your answers but we
Made it this far yeah

Made it this far
'cause we made it this far yeah

Bridge:
I don't care 'bout the trend
casue I've heard it again and again and again yeah
This is my destiny
And nobody but me
knows who I am



Just keep on, just keep on, just keep on...
