Going Down Fighting Lyrics
Like a broken horse ready for the saddle
You left me stranded up the creek with no paddle
Though you’d like me to suffer in silence and bite my tongue
Even a condemned man has his say before he’s hung
And your face may be as angry as thunder
But I got news for you babe I ain’t going under

I can feel the noose a-tight’ning
But I’m going down fighting
I’m going down fighting
I’m going down

Though I never had a chip on my shoulder
I recall ev’ry man I faced as I get older
I’ve taken more blows than Tyson in the arena
Though all the people I’ve fought have been ten times meaner
I’ll fight to the last I’ll never give up
And don’t worry these stains you see they’re only ketchup

I can feel the hound dogs biting
But I’m going down fighting
I’m going down fighting
I’m going down

I’ve stood on the ledge
Balancing on the edge
With the crowd baying for blood
And you say “Change your view
They know not what they do”

You say to get on in life you must kiss ass
Well I’ll leave you to do what you do and I’ll just pass
Just don’t try to tell me who to love or what to believe
I’ll make my peace with whoever when it’s time to leave
You ask why can’t I be like all of the others
Well I live I think I feel not like all those mothers

Facing my fate can be fright’ning
But I’m going down fighting
I’m going down fighting
I’m going down

I can feel the noose a-tight’ning
Going down fighting
I’m going down
Going down
