Goin' Down Rockin' Songtext
von Tony Joe White

One foot on the mountain
And the other one in the stream
All kind of trouble
And I′m caught in between

I can't change my way of doin′
It's gonna lay like it falls
'Cause if I can′t go down rockin′
Ain't goin′ down at all

She was a child of acquired money
Had that silver spoon
I knew she had a little wild streak
Needed breathin' room


I can′t be your sugar daddy
I won't be your Neanderthal
′Cause if I can't go down rockin'
Ain′t goin′ down at all, no, no

Tonight I had good intentions
Of crawling into bed
Resting my body
And clearing out my head

Just about midnight
I got that telephone call
'Cause if I can′t go down rockin'
I ain′t goin' down at all

I won′t be your Neanderthal

If I can't go down rockin'
Ain′t goin′ down at all
