Ain’t gunna break me down

Title: “Ain’t Gonna Break Me Down”

Verse 1
She took the house, took the car, took the light from the yard,
Left a name in the dirt and a soul battle-scarred.
I shook her ghost off my back one night,
Drove straight into the dawn, found my fight.

Pre-Chorus
Life’s a hard road, but I’m built for pain,
I’ve been burned before, I’ll rise again.

Chorus
She can curse my name in every town,
Spread those stories all around.
She can strike that match, she can watch it burn—
But I don’t fall, I live and learn.
You can break my heart, but not my crown—
She ain’t gonna break me down.

Verse 2
The whiskey don’t fix what it used to do,
But it helps me laugh, and it pulls me through.
My boys still call me when they need their dad,
That’s all I need to know—it ain’t all bad.

Pre-Chorus
Let her howl at the moon, I’ll walk in the sun,
I already lost, I don’t need to run.

Chorus
She can curse my name in every town,
Spread those stories all around.
She can strike that match, she can watch it burn—
But I don’t fall, I live and learn.
You can break my heart, but not my crown—
She ain’t gonna break me down.

Bridge
I got scars that don’t fade, but they make me real,
Every cut just sharpens the steel.
Let the rain fall hard, let the thunder sound—
She ain’t ever gonna break me down.

Final Chorus
She can curse my name in every town,
Let the wind spread that poison ‘round.
But my roots run deep, and my heart’s still sound—
No, she ain’t gonna break me down

Dark outlaw country lean into swagger defiance and grit choruses needs to punch hard equal parts pride and anger
