White Tony Joe - Ain't Going Down This Time lyrics

rate me

I've been laying low<br />

Living in the shadows<br />

Spending time alone<br />

Conversations with the wall<br />

<br />

Hanging on<br />

I'm just trying to matter<br />

And I remain<br />

Trying to make some sense of it all<br />

<br />

I've been here before I'm familiar with the pain<br />

But I ain't running no more there's one thing changed<br />

Ain't going down this time<br />

This time I ain't going down<br />

<br />

Like an undertow<br />

I feel the promise of the nighttime<br />

But I've been down that road<br />

And my search came to an end<br />

<br />

I hit the motherload<br />

Enough blues for a lifetime<br />

Now I'm digging deep inside<br />

Trying to find my way back again<br />

<br />

You know you've entered the danger zone<br />

When you look in the eyes and there's no one home<br />

Ain't going down this time<br />

This time I ain't going down<br />

<br />

Deep in the night<br />

I miss a woman's touch<br />

The fire burns strong<br />

And I'm drawn to the flame<br />

<br />

But I pay the price<br />

When I get caught up in the heartbeat<br />

And passion flows<br />

Unrestrained<br />

<br />

No one left to blame I'm faced with the truth<br />

And it's all too plain when there's nothing left to lose<br />

Ain't going down this time<br />

This time I ain't goin
