looking for a song with lyrics about moving/never slowing down/can't stop

Trying to help my wife with a project of hers and have hit a dead end, so I wanted to plumb the depths of ILMers to see if they can offer up any other suggestions. Yes, this is for a tentative ad campaign, so please don't shoot me. I offered to help, and ran out of ideas myself. The ideal type of band sound this company likes is of the Sheryl Crow ilk, and I just don't have a lot of knowledge in that area.

Anyway, she's looking for a song with pretty specific lyrics, focused on the idea of constantly moving, never slowing down. Lyrics like "don't stop me," "can't stop, won't stop," "keep moving" or even "let's go."

Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" hits it on the head. So does the opening of the Beastie Boys' "Sure Shot." Other songs that have been considered:

"Roadrunner"/Modern Lovers
"Ready, Steady, Go"/Paul Oakenfold
"Go Go Go Go"/Dean Martin
"Movin' On"/Good Charlotte
"I'm an Easy Rider"/Johnny Cash
"Gotta Travel On"/Bob Dylan

She'd like to avoid the obvious, overused travel songs, a la "On the Road Again." Any other thoughts? Preferably, the song would be well known, and by a band that won't offend the Bible Belt.

Thanks.

-Tim

Thanks for all the input. While I was watching the White Sox play corpseball against the BoSox tonight, she found a song by Dub Patrol (?) that fit the bill perfectly.

By the pool, in the school, by the fires of yule, it's the rule, there's a stool, there's a stool,
Stools are where, once upon a time you found a chair, a chair is for fools, everybody wants stools!
Stool Boom, from the parlor to the pool room, we're in the center of a stool boom, and everyone knows our names...
Working, building, never stopping, never sleeping. Working, making, some for selling, some for keeping.
You will drool at the splendor of these magic stools, it's the rule, everyone has a stool,
Just 3 legs, it's a thing for which a monarch begs, hock your jewels, use your money for stools!
Stool Boom, just 3 legs and watch the sales zoom. Like a fever, it's a stool boom, and it's spreading out from Blaine...
Working, building, never stopping, never sleeping. Working, making, some for selling, some for keeping.
Working, building...never stopping.... never sleeping. Working..... making..... some for selling..... some for keeping.
