Lyrics

One foot on the mountain
And the other one in the stream
All kinds of trouble
And I'm caught in between
I can't change my way of doin'
It's gonna lay like it falls
'Cos if I can't go down rockin'
Ain't goin' down at all

She was a child of the quiet money
Had that silver spoon
I knew she had a little wild streak
Needed breathin' room
I couldn't be your sugar daddy
I won't be your Neanderthal
'Cos if I can't go down rockin'
I ain't gonna go down at all

Tonight I had good intentions
Crawling in my bed
Resting my body
And clearing out my head
Just about midnight
I got the telephone call
She said if I can't go down rockin'
I ain't gonna go down at all

You know Barton?
If I can't go down rockin'
I ain't goin' down at all

Ain't goin' down at all
