Tony Joe White - Goin' Down Rockin'
(Intro: E)
E
One foot on the mountain
And the other one in the stream
All kind of trouble
And I'm caught in between
A
I can't change my way of doin'
E
It's gonna lay like it falls
B7
'Cause if I can't go down rockin'
A7 E
Ain't goin' down at all
E
She was a child of acquired money
Had that silver spoon
I knew she had a little wild streak
Needed breathin' room
A
I can't be your sugar daddy
E
I won't be your Neanderthal
B7
'Cause if I can't go down rockin'
A7 E
Ain't goin' down at all, no, no
E
Tonight I had good intentions
Of crawling into bed
Resting my body
And clearing out my head
A
Just about midnight
E
I got that telephone call
B7
'Cause if I can't go down rockin'
A7 E
I ain't goin' down at all
I won't be your Neanderthal
B7
If I can't go down rockin'
A7 E
Ain't goin' down at all
