Ain`t Going Down This Time — текст песни (White Tony Joe)

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 motherload
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 goin
