Not Going Down

Slaid Cleaves Not Going Down written by Slaid Cleaves Rod Picott G D We were born in a dying town C G Where deperate souls just hang around G D C Waiting for a reason to believe G D The young get old and the old they stay C G And slowly they just fade away D C G But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down D C G Cause I've been the loser desperate to win D C G And I've tasted snake oil and I've tasted sin G D C G I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of town D C G But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down G D I met a waitress out on 95 C G She lived her life like throwing dice G D C Her habit finally took the best of her G D She drew me in day by day C G Yea love's a drug that's what they say D C G But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down D C G Cause I've been the loser desperate to win G And I've tasted snake oil and sin G D C G I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of town D C G But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down D D Let it go D G Let it go G D You flash that shiny golden smile C G You say it'll be all right in a while G D C But I'm not about to shake your hand G D Yes I've made promises I couldn't keep C G And I've lost a couple of nights of sleep D C G But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down D C G But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down D C G Cause I've been the loser desperate to win D C G And I've tasted snake oil and I've tasted sin G D C G I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of town D C G But I'm going not down that way no I'm not going down D D Let it go D G Let it go D D Let it go D G Let it go G D C G I've stumbled through the darkness on the outskirts of town From Slaid Cleave "No Angel Knows" Philo Records 1997 Happy Valley Music/Welding Rod Music(BMI) Gurf Morlix guitar/bass/steel guitar Donald Lindley drums Karen Poston background vocals
