Go Down Swingin'
Lyrics
I'm gonna go down swingin'
Swingin' to these hillbilly blues
I wanna hear ol' Willie singin'
With a steel guitar a ringin'
Gonna go down swingin' with you
I'm gonna go out kickin'
Kickin' like an ol' Kentucky mule
I'll keep grinnin' and a-pickin'
'Til my ticker quits a-tickin'
Gonna go down swingin' with you
I'll ride this lost highway
Until I'm old and grey
Playin' in these roadhouse dives
I'll keep swingin' with y'all way past last call
'Less somebody call the law
They won't take me alive
I'm gonna go down swingin'
Clingin' to the sound I always knew
Well if you like that old time singin'
And some country guitar singin'
Gonna go down swingin' with you
Oh Lord whatever waits beyond them pearly gates
I hope the streets are paved with gold
But if the music's all wrong
Eternity's too long
If there's no honky tonks
Let the devil take my soul
Gonna go down swingin'
Clingin' to these hillbilly blues
If you don't like my kind of singin'
Blame it all on my upbringin'
Gonna go down swingin'
Guitar singin'
Go down swingin' with you
