"Long Way Down" lyrics - KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD

This ain't the first time I been here
Damn right it's gonna be last
I been chasing, chasing answers
To the questions we don't ask

Like how, how I'm gonna pay the rent
What have I got to show for all this money that's been spent

Last shot
Ready or not
But I ain't gonna stop
'Til I turn this thing around
It's a hard ride
Against the tide
If you ain't rising up
It's a long way down

I been drowning in a river
Of cold cold water
Maybe it's time to pray
It's like staring down barrel of a loaded gun
But I ain't going to die today

Oh, it ain't my time to go
Oh, they say when you know you'll know

Last shot
Ready or not
But I ain't gonna stop
'Til I turn this thing around
It's a hard ride
Against the tide
If you ain't rising up
It's a long way down

I been drowning in a river
Of cold cold water
Everybody got a price to pay
It's like staring down barrel of a loaded gun
But I ain't going to die today

Last shot
Ready or not
But I ain't gonna stop
'Til I turn this thing around
It's a hard ride
Against the tide
If you ain't rising up
It's a long way down

Last shot
Ready or not
But I ain't gonna stop
'Til I turn this thing around
It's a hard ride
Against the tide
If you ain't rising up
It's a long way down
