One foot on the mountain and the other one in the stream
All kinds of trouble and I'm caught in between
I can't change my way of doin', it's gonna lay like it falls
'Cause if I can't go down rockin' ain't goin' down at all
She was a child of the quiet money, had that silver spoon
I knew she had a little wild streak needed breathin' room
I couldn't be your sugar daddy, I won't be your Neanderthal
'Cause if I can't go down rockin' I ain't gonna go down at all
(Can't go down rockin', ain't goin' down at all)
Tonight I had good intentions crawling in my bed
Resting my body and clearing out my head
Just about midnight I got the telephone call
She said if I can't go down rockin' I ain't gonna go down at all
(Can't go down rockin', ain't goin' down at all)
You know, Barton?
If I can't go down rockin' I ain't goin' down at all
Ain't goin' down at all
