Mat Kearney lyrics - Won't Back Down

album: Nothing Left To Lose (2006)
album: Bullet (2004)
genre:

You woke the morning up 
Running off the darkest night 
The longest fight I've seen 
Here goes a chance I know 
Cashing in on all my chips 
Let all my ships come fly 

These days, a little bit longer than the last 
And all of your ways, a little bit stronger than the past 
And your light, found my bottle in the night 
Gave me second life, kept me in this fight 

CHORUS: 
And I won't back down 
I won't turn around and around 
And I won't back down 
Doesn't matter what comes crashing down 
I'm still gonna stand on solid ground 

You found me once and for all 
I laid it down in the sinking ground 
The hopeless undertow 
Singing out the gentle sound 
Rattling through my smoking screens 
My broken dreams last night 

These days, a little bit longer than the last 
And all of your ways, a little bit stronger than the past 
And your light, found my bottle in the night 
Kept me in this fight and gave me second life 

CHORUS 

Hallelujah ripped through my veins 
I heard the hammer drop 
My blood in the rain 

Hallelujah came like a train 
When all is lost 
All is left to gain 

CHORUS x2 

Hallelujah
