Jo Dee Messina - Not Going Down Lyrics
(Shaunna Bolton/Kevin Savigar)I woke up today with a headacheMore bills to pay than a corporationHey, when will it endMy mirror says I could use a breakAn easy day, some appreciationHey how 'bout a friendWhen days like these start to fall in on meI gotta face my reflection and say...heyChorus:Been burned by the fireBeen stuck under waterStrung up on a wire and still the world goes aroundBeen tossed like a free throwKnocked out when the wind blowsPull the curtain on the hurtin''Cause I'm not going down(I'm not going down no no)Inside of me is the onlyHighway that leads to a true freedomHolding out it's handI close my eyes and it's all rightThe sun will shine on a new horizonJust around the bendDays like these bring out the strength in meSo I can face my reflection and say...Repeat chorusI still get dizzy and frantic, lonely and panicedBut next time I won't let it beat me, noI can see clearly, I know who I amAnd that's how I know I've begun livingRepeat chorus (out)
