Musical Motivation on 18 Wheels

Every so often I hear a song that really speaks to me. Today I was listing to my iTunes on random and came across the TRACK: 18 Wheeler ARTIST: P!NK

(from the album M!ssundaztood - 2001)

Besides the fact that I LOVE P!NK for her real-deal attitude, her hustle and now soft mommy side. She is a fabulous singer, songwriter and performer too. I have had the pleasure of seeing her perform LIVE 4 times in various venues;
Stadium in San Jose (Funhouse Tour - Sept 18, 2009)

Kool Haus club in Toronto (July 13, 2006)

NYE party LIVE in Las Vegas (Dec 31 2008/Jan 1, 2009)

and a live performance for TV at MUCH MUSIC in Toronto, Canada (Sept 22, 2008). Where I was able to put my arm around her and personally thank her for the music.
The song 18 Wheeler is a kick a$$ song that I was compelled to share. It will be heavy in the rotation as I work out and channel my energy and fists into the Headache bag in my home gym! (taped hands are the new half glove .. kind of! haha)

LYRICS

Can't keep me down
Can't keep me down, down
Can't keep me down
I said you can't keep me down
You know you can't keep me down
I said you can't keep me down

Hey, hey, man! What's your problem?
I see you tryin' to hurt me bad
Don't know what you're up against
Maybe you should reconsider
Come up with another plan
Cuz you know I'm not that kinda girl
That'll lay there and let you come first

You can push me out the window
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won't give a fuck
You can hang me like a slave
I'll go underground
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can't keep me down, down, down, down

Can't keep me down, down
Can't keep me down, down, down
Can't keep me down, down

Hey, hey, girl! Are you ready for today?
You got your shield and sword?
Cuz its time to play the games
You are beautiful
Even though your not for sure
Don't let him pull you by the scar
You're gonna get your feelings hurt

You can push me out the window
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won't give a fuck
You can hang me like a slave
I'll go underground
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can't keep me down, down, down, down

You can push me out the window
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won't give a fuck
You can hang me like a slave
I'll go underground
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can't keep me down, down, down, down

Everywhere that I go
There's someone waitin' to chain me
Everything that I say
There's someone tryin' to short-change me
I am only this way
Because of what you have made me
And I'm not gonna break!

You can push me out the window
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won't give a fuck
You can hang me like a slave
I'll go underground
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can't keep me down, down, down, down

What music motivates you?
