Never Gonna Come Down

(album: The Brave - 2022)

Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down
Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down

Yeah, never move, never flinch
Been through hell to get here, I ain't giving up an inch
You weren't there before I ever wrote a verse
Had to hop on a train just to make my way to work
No home, no license at all
No phone, who cares, I had no one to call
Work so hard I had to drive like a car
Been through every season but I never seen the fall
Autumn don't come too often for me
And when the wind blows I don't fall off the tree
I don't burn like the leaves, I just grow like the spring
Never fold or retreat, hold it down like a G
Yeah, always win like a three-peat
Put my music on repeat
Been down, came back around
Made it to the top, now they all line up just to see

Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down
Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down

Most people been to hell and back, I went to hell and stayed there
Caught my jacket on a branch and waited in the flames scared
Demons started closing in and devils never play fair
I made it out alive, I ain't the same, now I got gray hair
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger if you're tough enough
It's hard to comprehend when you consider even metal rust
Uh, you still gotta thug it out
I ain't getting out the water, fight the sharks 'til I drown
Never run away from nothing, I'm a man, that's how it has to be
I'll only leave, delete the evil away from my family
The alcohol and partying have obviously damaged me
But I ain't giving up, you'd have to kill me to cancel me
None of us are getting out alive, man, that's real true
The first cut is the worst, but they all feel new
Tough times don't last, tough people do
And you got the vision, just go see it through

Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down
Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down

I've been climbing to the moon right now, I'm deep inside the clouds
People crowding 'round my ladder, shaking it to bring me down
Don't need an army, I'm a soldier, packed a million different rounds
When I finally blow the motor, then my feet will hit the ground
Then I'ma run like I ain't never run before in my life
Like I'm fourteen, drunk and jumping fences all night
'Cause a warrior's destiny doesn't run with a fight
It makes him stronger than he's ever been before in his life
My life go brighter than a lightpole, you should know
I'm cooler than what's cool, ice cold
I don't break down, I just hit the ground running
Ever since a younging, always kept it a hundred
Look, I don't know the speed limit, only time I look back
Is just to see what we did, I'm writing a book
You don't get to read it 'cause I sing it in these hooks
But you know it when you hear it in my voice, they all look

Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down
Never gonna come down
Never gonna break down
