Go Down Swingin' |
| Kickin' and screamin' |
| Only way I learn |
| I’m afraid of my own shadow |
| Not the bridge around the turn |
| Well, I lost myself and found myself |
| While you were kissin' ass |
| And I know it’s not your nature |
| Just to let me pass |
| So I’m gonna go down swingin' |
| Singin' till the end |
| I’m gonna go down swingin' |
| You and me and your best friend |
| I’m gonna go down swingin' |
| Upper cut and two left jabs |
| I’m gonna go down swingin' |
| With everything I have |
| Sometimes I am a predator |
| Prowlin' for my life |
| Other times I am a field mouse |
| Running for the sides |
| Of the biggest, flattest corn field |
| Bigger than my Indiana home |
| 'Til the harvest comes along |
| And leaves my tiny bones |
| I’m gonna go down swingin' |
| Singin' till the end |
| I’m gonna go down swingin' |
| Like the Duke recommends |
| I’m gonna go down swingin' |
| For the bleachers in left field |
| I’m gonna go down swingin' |
| Like a blade of steel |
| There’s a scarecrow scarin' nothin' |
| Trumpet player in the barn |
| And he’s puffin' both his cheeks out |
| And he’s liftin' both his arms |
| As he blows his notes to heaven |
| As the preacher dunks you in |
| And all along the river |
| The air is sweet as sin |
| I wanna go down singin' |
| Hallelujah Gabriel |
| I wanna go down singin' |
| Oh, you play the blues so well |
| I wanna go down swingin' |
| Now, three sheets to the wind |
| I wanna go down swingin' |
| Punch drunk to the end, yeah |
| Go down swingin' |
| Go down swingin' |
| Go down swingin', baby |
