Beatdown Blues Lyrics

I shined the brightest light on

The darkest part of my mind

Lo and behold

All these things that I came to find

I'll offer a lesson

As I'm turning four-oh

Try to be present

These things you love before they go

Give all the love you've got

But if it's one thing that I know

Prepare, you, for the worse

And I say

I have found life can knock you down

And beat you to the ground

When you get down look around

And take in all the sounds

No matter how hard it hits

Move forward in spite of it

I have found life can knock you down

And beat you to the ground

And when you take a blow to the gut

Dust yourself off and keep your chin up

I have found life can knock you down

The rest is up to you

There's no amount of nothing

That can't be taken from you

Take that to the bank

There's no house around

That cannot be burned down

Who are we to thank

Life hits, life kicks, life spits,

Deals shit, can't miss

This is why you cannot quit

Even when it sucks you get back up

This is what I think

Give all the love you've got

But if it's one thing that I know

Prepare, you, for the worse

And I say

I have found life can knock you down

And beat you to the ground

When you get down look around

And take in all the sounds

No matter how hard it hits

Move forward in spite of it

I have found life can knock you down

And beat you to the ground

And when you take a blow to the gut

Dust yourself off and keep your chin up

I have found life can knock you down

The rest is up to you
