Lyrics
[Intro]
Woke up this morning, rain pouring on my bed,
Woke up this morning, rain pouring on my bed,
My baby done left me, everything I had is dead.
[Chorus]
But I ain't givin' up, no, I ain't gonna fall,
I ain't givin' up, gonna stand up tall,
When everything is gone, I'll still be standing strong.
[Verse 1]
Electricity's out, darkness all around,
Electricity's out, darkness all around,
No light to guide me, I'm lost but not down.
[Chorus]
But I ain't givin' up, no, I ain't gonna fall,
I ain't givin' up, gonna stand up tall,
When everything is gone, I'll still be standing strong.
[Verse 2]
Gas line's dry, can't cook no more,
Gas line's dry, can't cook no more,
Cold nights and hunger, but I know what's in store.
[Chorus]
But I ain't givin' up, no, I ain't gonna fall,
I ain't givin' up, gonna stand up tall,
When everything is gone, I'll still be standing strong.
[Bridge]
Water stopped flowin', can't quench my thirst,
Water stopped flowin', can't quench my thirst,
Feels like the whole world's gone and put me in reverse.
[Chorus]
But I ain't givin' up, no, I ain't gonna fall,
I ain't givin' up, gonna stand up tall,
When everything is gone, I'll still be standing strong.
[Verse 3]
Lost my home, just got the clothes on my back,
Lost my home, just got the clothes on my back,
But I got my spirit, ain't no heart attack.
[Chorus]
But I ain't givin' up, no, I ain't gonna fall,
I ain't givin' up, gonna stand up tall,
When everything is gone, I'll still be standing strong.
[Outro]
Life may be hard, but I know I'll survive,
Life may be hard, but I know I'll survive,
As long as I'm breathing, I'll keep my hope alive.
[Chorus]
No, I ain't givin' up, no, I ain't gonna fall,
I ain't givin' up, gonna stand up tall,
When everything is gone, I'll still be standing strong.
[Chorus]
But I ain't givin' up, no, I ain't gonna fall,
I ain't givin' up, gonna stand up tall,
When everything is gone, I'll still be standing strong.
[Outro]
Life may be hard, but I know I'll survive,
Life may be hard, but I know I'll survive,
As long as I'm breathing, I'll keep my hope alive.
[Chorus]
No, I ain't givin' up, no, I ain't gonna fall,
I ain't givin' up, gonna stand up tall,
When everything is gone, I'll still be standing strong.
