Ain't Going Down This Time

Tony Joe White

I've been laying low

Living in the shadows

Spending time alone

Conversations with the wall

Hanging on

I'm just trying to matter

And I remain

Trying to make some sense of it all

I've been here before I'm

familiar with the pain

But I ain't running no more

there's one thing changed

Ain't going down this time

This time I ain't going down

Like an undertow

I feel the promise of the nighttime

But I've been down that road

And my search came to an end

I hit the mother load

Enough blues for a lifetime

Now I'm digging deep inside

Trying to find my way back again

You know you've entered the danger zone

When you look in the eyes and

there's no one home

Ain't going down this time

This time I ain't going down

Deep in the night

I miss a woman's touch

The fire burns strong

And I'm drawn to the flame

But I pay the price

When I get caught up in the heartbeat

And passion flows

Unrestrained

No one left to blame I'm

faced with the truth

And it's all too plain

when there's nothing left

to lose

Ain't going down this time

This time I ain't going
