I'll Go Down Swinging

(Bill Anderson)



The one I love don't want me hanging round

All she does is put me on and put me down

Tonight she's with a stranger at a party in her home

And I'm here at a tavern gettin' stoned.



'Cause if I gotta go, I'll go down swinging

Where there's lights and laughter

Booze and blonds and a lots of sad, sad singing

I'll sober up tomorrow and cry all day I know

At least I'll go down swinging, what a swinging way to go.



--- Instrumental ---



I'll dance with all the girls and buy the wine

Play the jukebox till I'm down to my last dime

She thinks she made a fool of me by loving someone else

She should see me make a fool out of myself.



'Cause if I gotta go, I'll go down swinging

Where there's lights and laughter

Booze and blonds and a lots of sad, sad singing

I'll sober up tomorrow and cry all day I know

At least I'll go down swinging, what a swinging way to go...
