I Ain't Goin' Peacefully

(album: Hog Wild - 1995)

Garth and Clint and Alan
Them boys have got it made
Cut their teeth on whiskey bent
And they're trying to put me in the shade

I can tell you they've done a good job
'Cause it's been a long dry spell
But the day you think I'm gonna quit
That'll be a cold day in the well

Because I ain't going peacefully
I'll be up there swinging
Just trying to make a hit
And having a little bit of fun while I'm singing

No I ain't going peacefully
Yes I'm gonna put up a fight
I've been known to take a chance
And make people dance and stomp their boots all night

Travis and Aaron and John Michael
I'm glad I got to see them shine
I've been a lucky man
To have them as friends of mine

Garth says he's made more money now
Than his grandkids can ever spend
Well, my ex-wife spent what I had
That makes me one fighting mad man

And so I ain't going peacefully
I'll be up there swinging
I'm just trying to make a hit
And be sure and have a little bit of fun when I'm singing

No I ain't going peacefully
I'm gonna put up a fight
I've been known to take a chance
And make people dance and stomp their boots all night

No I ain't going peacefully
I'm gonna kick and fight
I've been known to take a chance
And make the people dance and stomp their boots all night
Yes sir

Swing your dress and stomp their boots all night
