Slaid Cleaves Not Going Down written by Slaid Cleaves
Rod Picott
[G]We were born in a [D]dying town
[C]Where deperate souls j[G]ust hang around
[G]Waiting for a [D]reason to bel[C]ieve
[G]The young get old and the [D]old they stay
[C]And slowly they just [G]fade away
But I'm [D]going not down that [C]way no I'm not going [G]down
[D]Cause I've been the loser [C]desperate to [G]win
[D]And I've tasted snake oil [C]and I've tasted [G]sin
[G]I've stumbled through the [D]darkness on the [C]outskirts of t[G]own
But I'm [D]going not down that [C]way no I'm not going d[G]own
[G]I met a waitress out on [D]95
[C]She lived her life like t[G]hrowing dice
[G]Her habit finally [D]took the best of [C]her
[G]She drew me in [D]day by day
[C]Yea love's a drug that's [G]what they say
But I'm [D]going not down that [C]way no I'm not going [G]down
[D]Cause I've been the loser [C]desperate to [G]win
[G]And I've tasted snake oil and sin
[G]I've stumbled through the [D]darkness on the [C]outskirts of [G]town
But I'm [D]going not down that [C]way no I'm not going [G]down
Let it [D]go[C][G][D]
Let it [D]go[C][G]
[G]You flash that shiny g[D]olden smile
[C]You say it'll be all [G]right in a while
[G]But I'm not a[D]bout to shake your [C]hand
[G]Yes I've made promises [D]I couldn't keep
[C]And I've lost a couple of [G]nights of sleep
But I'm [D]going not down that [C]way no I'm not going [G]down
But I'm [D]going not down that [C]way no I'm not going [G]down
[D]Cause I've been the loser [C]desperate to [G]win
[D]And I've tasted snake oil [C]and I've tasted [G]sin
[G]I've stumbled through the [D]darkness on the [C]outskirts of t[G]own
But I'm [D]going not down [C]that way no I'm not going do[G]wn
Let it [D]go[C][G][D]
Let it [D]go[C][G]
Let it [D]go[C][G][D]
Let it [D]go[C][G]
[G]I've stumbled through the [D]darkness on the [C]outskirts of t[G]own
