I Ain't Goin' Down
 [bad word] 
I'm gonna hold on -
'cause what i believe in is so strong
no matter how long, no one
can tell me i'm wrong - i ain't goin' down

I had a baby at fifteen -
daddy never did forgive me
i never heard from the guy again
i had to drop outta high school -
everybody treated me so [bad word] but i didn't give in and give her away

(Repeat [bad word] 

Her smile got me through the day -
and every night i'd pray
i can give her enough
at night i'd lie awake and cry -
hopin' we get by
'cause you can't live on love

I work night and day to keep us goin'
through the sweat and tears
without her knowin'
it was worth it just to watch her grow
oh, oh, at least i was able to hold her
whenever she needed my shoulder
i'm so glad i never let her go

(Repeat [bad word] 

Her smile got me through the years -
dried away the tears
and filled me with hope
at night i'd lay awake and cry -
prayed we would get by
and for the courage to cope
oh, oh, oh
 [bad word] Solo

Her smile got me through the day -
and every night i'd pray
i could give her enough

(Repeat [bad word] 2x)

No one can tell me i'm wrong
i ain't going down.
