Going Down Swinging

GOING DOWN SWINGING (Kevin So/Carl Cacho)

My mama’s like a freight train

Tearing through a hurricane

Drove my Daddy insane but he stayed buckled in his seat

He lived his life beside her

He was just a joy rider

She always was the driver, fed the fire underneath

Then just like that

My Daddy passed and Ma’s not made of steel

These times are tough

Is she strong enough to hold the wheel?

ONCE SHE WAS INVINCIBLE

STUCK TO HER OWN PRINCIPLES

PICKED ME ON UP

RIGHT THERE FROM THE BEGINNING

YOU CAN RING THE BELL FOR THE FINAL ROUND

YOU KNOW YOU JUST CAN’T COUNT HER OUT

I TELL YOU RIGHT NOW

SHE’S GOING DOWN SWINGING

When she was a young girl

She fought her way through this world

Didn’t have a string of pearls, just a hunger to survive

From China on to Hong Kong

She met Dad and from then on

Made their way to Boston where their dreams would come alive

But it goes so fast

Yeah nothing lasts, kids are grown and out the door

One’s a preacher man

And the other one is back on tour

ONCE SHE WAS INVINCIBLE

STUCK TO HER OWN PRINCIPLES

PICKED ME ON UP

RIGHT THERE FROM THE BEGINNING

YOU CAN RING THE BELL FOR THE FINAL ROUND

YOU KNOW YOU JUST CAN’T COUNT HER OUT

I TELL YOU RIGHT NOW

SHE’S GOING DOWN SWINGING

Over time every star is gonna fall

You don’t believe it til you get that doctor’s call

I THOUGHT SHE WAS INVINCIBLE

HELD TO HER OWN PRINCIPLES

CHANCES OF HER SLOWING DOWN WERE ONE IN A MILLION

BUT IF YOU’RE RINGING THE BELL FOR THE FINAL ROUND

YOU KNOW YOU JUST CAN’T COUNT HER OUT

I’M TELLING YOU NOW

SHE’S GOING DOWN SWINGING
