The Man Who Won't Stay Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They said I was finished, they said I was through, Kicked me hard when I had nothin’ to lose. But a man like me don’t stay in the dirt, I wear my scars like badges, yeah, they don’t hurt. I’ve been to the edge, I’ve stared at the fall, But I came back swingin’, stronger than 'em all. [Chorus] I’m the man who won’t stay down, The storm that rolls through this dusty town. You knock me flat, I’ll rise again, Outlaw blood, I don’t break or bend. You can bet your boots, I’m wearin’ the crown, I’m the man who won’t stay down. [Verse 2] They whispered my name like a curse in the night, But I turned their shadows into my light. Took every cheap shot, every dirty blow, Made a name they’d fear, a legend they’d know. From the barroom brawls to the county line, They learned quick this backbone’s mine. [Prechorus] Oh, they tried to chain me, tried to tame me, But wild hearts can’t be caught. [Chorus] I’m the man who won’t stay down, The storm that rolls through this dusty town. You knock me flat, I’ll rise again, Outlaw blood, I don’t break or bend. You can bet your boots, I’m wearin’ the crown, I’m the man who won’t stay down. [Bridge] I don’t take orders, don’t answer to fear, I’ve built my throne on the sweat and the tears. You can try to stop me, but here’s the truth: I’ll still be standin’ when you’ve come unglued.
