lyrics

Going Down Grinnin'
Justin Wells

I thought I did good, but you be the judge
I closed that door and bit back the grudge
Like a worn-out coat in the pouring rain
I'll take what I can to knock back the pain
You can hate me, Lord, for all my sinnin'
But I swear to God, I'm going down grinnin'

I'll pass a paved road, wherever it goes
Give me a destination that nobody knows
I'll go poor and I'll go young
By the battered beat of a beat-down drum
You can hate me, Lord, for all my sinnin'
But I swear to God, I'm going down grinnin'

If a needle in a haystack is the only chance I'll have
You can burn it to the ground for all I care
And take what's left behind of my self and throw it all away
I ain't leavin'
Til I'm done

There's a moral here, but it slipped my mind
Like a misspent youth, I left it behind
A few years older, the more I've learned
You can wait in line and never get a turn
But I won't sit and wait for the ending
I swear to God, I'm going down grinnin'

If a needle in a haystack is the only chance I'll have
You can burn it to the ground for all I care
And take what's left behind of my self and throw it all away
I ain't leavin'
Til I'm done
I ain't leavin'
Til I'm done

If a needle in a haystack is the only chance I'll have
You can burn it to the ground for all I care
And take what's left behind of my self and throw it all away
I ain't leavin'
Til I'm done
I ain't leavin'
Til I'm done
I ain't leavin'
Til I'm done
