early eighties song

Going crazy over a song! Here are some of the lyrics, and probably not all the right lyrics:
chorus: Ain't nothin gonna break my stride
Ain't nothin gonna hold me down, oh no
I've got to keep on movin

You sailed away to China,
In a little row boat to find ya
You said you had to get your laundry cleaned
Is that the reason why your runnin so fast?
And she said (chorus)

It seems so simple but I am stumped.

Yes this is a nice song.
It is "Matthew Wilder" who sings it and its called "break my stride"
It has recently been massacred on the radio by some thiefs who can´t
write their own music, I can´t belive who grants them room on the radio.
