Lyrics Mat Kearney

Mat Kearney

Won't Back Down

You woke the morning up

Running off the darkest night

The longest light 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

Kept me in this fight, gave me second life

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 my 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

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

Hallelujah
