Go Down Singin' (Acoustic)

Took a couple blows on Broadway

Cause I heard that’s what you do

Left blood and sweat and tears up and down 16th avenue

Between the “Son you just ain’t got it”s and the barely making rent

I just smiled and took it on the chin

And I did my best

I went for broke

Breathed in every drop of neon covered honky tonk bar smoke

When this town did it’s worst

I just smiled and said bring it

Said if I go down, hell at least I go down singin’

Signed a couple sheets of paper and finally thought I’d won

Turns out I’d sign a couple more, and tell ‘em I was done

But a phone call home to momma

Gets your back up off the ropes

Put my boots back on, called up the boys

And we all hit the road

And I did my best

I went for broke

Breathed in every drop of neon covered honky tonk bar smoke

When this town did it’s worst

I just smiled and said bring it

Said if I go down, hell at least I go down singin’, oh

I go down singin’, oh

Got asked the other day by a kid with dreams to chase

Said what's it really take

I told him make sure you can say

I did my best

I went for broke

Breathe in every drop of neon covered honky tonk bar smoke

When this town does it’s worst

Make sure you smile and say bring it

And if you go down, hell, at least you go down singin’

If you go down, make damn sure

You go down singin’, oh

Go down singin’
