I Ain't Goin' Down

Writers : Shania Twain / Robert John ?Mutt? Lange Listen to CD for timing .... it's kind of different. *Intro is a play on string 1st fret* I?m gonna hold on ?cause what I believe in is so strong No matter how long no one can tell me I?m wrong I ain?t goin? down Verse: I had a baby at 15 Daddy never did forgive me I never heard from the guy again I had to drop out of high school Everybody treated me so cruel But I didn?t give in and give her away Chorus: I?m gonna hold on ?cause what I believe in is so strong No matter how long no one can tell me I?m wrong I ain?t goin? down Her smile got me through the day And every night I?d pray I could give her enough At night I'd lie awake and cry hoping we'd get by ?Cause you can?t live on love Verse: I worked night and day to keep us goin? Through the sweat and the tears without her knowin? It was worth it just to watch her grow At least I was able to hold her whenever she needed my shoulder I?m so glad I never let her go Chorus: I?m gonna hold on ?cause what I believe in is so strong No matter how long no one can tell me I?m wrong I ain?t goin? down Her smile got me through the years Dried away the tears, and filled me with hope At night I?d lie awake and cry pray we would get by And for the courage to cope Break: |D | | | ?.repeats chorus
