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 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'
