Goin' Down Swingin' Songtext
von Brian Ray

If we′re goin' to hell we don′t need to pack
Got a one way ticket cuz we ain't comin' back
Like Nancy and Sid, Courtney and Kurt
They say wherever we go someone′s gonna get hurt
I don′t need a gypsy or my palm read to see
That's my girl cuz she′s bad like me

Ya got stuff on your mind? Ya got somethin' to say?
Gotta get on this [or get out of our way, yeah]

People said from the jump,
"They′re no good, ain't nothin′ but bad news you're bringin'"
Let people say what people want
If we′re going down, we′re going down swingin'...
Goin′ down swingin, yeah

We'll take the backwood roads on a full moon ride
Just like Johnny and June, like Bonnie and Clyde
Just like Adam and Eve we gonna split this scene
You′re the strike of the match on my gasoline


People said from the jump,
"They're no good, ain′t nothin' but bad news you're bringin′"
Let people say what people want
If we′re going down, we're going down swingin′...

Momma said from the start, "they're no good"
She cried while the church bells were ringin′
We jumped the tracks, no turnin' back
If we′re going down, we're goin' down swingin′

She got her head in my lap, got the gun in the rack
We got some beer up front, got the dog in the back
We got the 8 track tape with Johnny Cash singin′ "I'll walk the line"
And we′re going down swingin' yeah′

We're going down swingin′ yeah'

People said from the jump,
"They're no good, ain′t nothin′ but bad news you're bringin′"
Let people say what people want
If we're going down, we′re going down swingin'
Going down, going down, going down, going down
Goin′ down swingin, yeah
Going down, going down, going down, going down
Goin' down swingin, yeah
Goin' down swingin, yeah
