Eric Clapton - Ain't Going Down Lyrics

It ain't no big deal, we're all lucky to be alive,
I myself don't believe in luck, or taking chances, I will survive.
Every move I make, every twist and every turn,
You scandalize and humble me, I may be slow but I will learn.

[Chorus:]
'Cause I ain't going down anymore.
No I ain't going down anymore.
No I ain't going down anymore.
No I ain't going down anymore.

If I had my way, I would probably just sit and stare.
Watch the T.V. or read a book, I'd have no reason to be aware,
But I ain't got time, I just could not live that way.
I've got to step outside myself, I've still got something left to say.

[Chorus 2x]

Channelled in my groove, part of another space and time.
Please allow me to introduce another very good friend of mine.
Some call him fear, some call him righteousness.
I myself ain't clear, and you can't force me to make a guess.
