Goin' Down Rockin' Lyrics - Tony Joe White

One foot on the mountain 

And the other one in the stream 

All kind 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 acquired money 

Had that silver spoon 

I knew she had a little wild streak 

Needed breathin' room 

I can't be your sugar daddy 

I won't be your Neanderthal 

'Cause if I can't go down rockin' 

Ain't goin' down at all, no, no 

Tonight I had good intentions 

Of crawling into bed 

Resting my body 

And clearing out my head 

Just about midnight 

I got that telephone call 

'Cause if I can't go down rockin' 

I ain't goin' down at all 

I won't be your Neanderthal 

If I can't go down rockin' 

Ain't goin' down at all
