"Going Down"
(Allison Moorer / Doyle Lee Primm / Doyle Primm)

Up 'til now my lucky stars shined brightest in the sky
I was living in the lap of the gods
But Miss Fortune turned the tables
And turned out all the lights
Now there's no chance in hell I'll beat the odds.

I'm going down going down
Down down down I'm going down.

Up 'til now I never looked
At what was in the cards
Played fast and loose
I didn't give a damn
But a joker who is wild like me
Can't beat the old graveyard
If he's staring at a dead man's hand.

I'm going down going down
Down down down I'm going down.

Up 'til now the thought of losing
Didn't cross my mind
It felt good to gamble with my soul
But what was I a-thinking
Why'd I lay it on the line
Everybody one day has to fold.

I'm going down going down
Down down down I'm going down.

I'm going down going down
Down down down I'm going down.

I lost this round
I'm going down.
