Lyric I Ain t Goin Down

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 cruel
But I didn t give in and giver her away

[Repeat Chorus]

Her smile got me through the day--
and every night I d pray
I could give her enough
At night I d lie awake and cry--
hopin we d get by
Cause you can t live on love

I worked 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 Chorus]

Her smile got me through the years--
dried away the tears
And filled me with hope
At night I d lie awake and cry--
prayed we would get by
And for the courage to cope
Oh, oh, oh

[Instrumental solo]

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

[Repeat Chorus (2x)]

No on can tell me I m wrong
I ain t goin down
