Never Gonna Come Down

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 givin' up a inch You weren't there before I ever wrote a verse Had to hop on the 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 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 me 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 closin' in and devils never play fair I made it out alive, I ain't the same, now I got grey hair What doesn't kill you makes you stronger if you're tough enough It's hard to comprehend when you consider even metal rusts Uh, you still gotta thug it out I ain't gettin' out the water, fight the sharks 'til I drown Never run away from nothin', I'm a man, that's how it has to be I'll only leave to lead the evil away from my family The alcohol and partying have obviously damaged me But I ain't givin' up, you'd have to kill me to cancel me None of us are gettin' 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 And I'ma run like I ain't never run before in my life Like I'm fourteen, drunk and jumpin' fences all night 'Cause a warrior's destiny doesn't end with a fight It makes him stronger than he's ever been before in his life My life go brighter than a light pole, you should know I'm cooler than what's cool, ice cold I don't break down, I just hit the ground, I'm runnin' Ever since a youngin', 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 writin' 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, never, never, never) Never gonna break down Never gonna come down (never, ever, ever, ever) Never gonna break down (know what I mean? Like) --- Never Gonna Come Down - Adam Calhoun and Tom MacDonald
