lyrics

Go Down Singing

I had a bad week.
Then I had a bad year.
Things'll probably get better but
the future is unclear

I've been out of work,
so I've got lots of time
to write these old fashioned letters
and these old fashioned rhymes

and I want
everyone to hear me say
I'll go down singing
I'll go down singing
'cause I know life won't always
go my way
if I'm gonna go down,
I'll go down singing

I know every cloud
comes with a silver line
and every song I write
brings me one step closer to mine

Come to find out
we're all in this same boat
and if it's truly sinking
it's high time we learned to float

So I want
everyone right here to say
I'll go down singing
you'll hear me singing
'cause I know life won't always
go my way
if I'm gonna go down,
I'll go down singing

It's not hard to see it, yeah
the world is changing fast
so build a life you love
'cause it's the only kind that lasts
Can't forget to sing and dance
show me how you clap your hands...

'Cause I want
everyone right here to say
I'll go down singing
I'll go down singing
'cause I know life won't always
go my way
if I'm gonna go down,
I'll go down singing
