Ain't Gonna Drown Lyrics

Train's coming but I'm stuck on this road
Moon's rising and my blood is growing cold
Preacher man can't save a soul like mine
Miracles are just too damn hard to find

Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
'Cause the good Lord ain't bringing me home

I'm bound for the broken promise land
To meet my demons and get back my upper hand
Lawman can't catch a soul like mine
Miracles are just too damn hard to find

Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
'Cause the good Lord ain't bringing me home

Lawman can't catch a soul like mine
Miracles are just too damn hard to find

Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
'Cause the good Lord ain't bringing me home

Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
Ain't gonna drown in the water
'Cause the good Lord ain't bringing me home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's about a woman who knows that she's going to Hell when she dies, and she doesn't seem to care enough to stay out of there.
